Re: Membrane keyboard

If I typed in a half-meg "C" program with a universal remote, I
suspect my hand would be either worn out badly, or would in time start
to get rather muscle-bound <G>

  Could a pop-up cover be a good answer, here?  PC Board fiberglass
would be light & protect well & it's cheap etc.

  I've been talking aside on another idea, for light-run keyboards,
we'll share once we've thought about it all;  The new high-emission LEDs
(8000 mCd) can be used as flashlights, and could be used to detect
finger movements for keyboarding purposes, as well, in part.  Wouldn't
be bad to always be wearing a flashlight, btw <G>  (Hmmmm, maybe have a
little wrist-mounted unit that snaps out from under your wrist & out
below your palm, Charles?)
