New I have my Happy Hacking keyboard here at work.
I still get comments about it. But I do all my programming in vi. For which it's perfect. And even mousing is easier because there's no numeric keypad between the active keys and the rodent.

I usually admin my home server with SSH. I've got a monitor plugged in, but there's no X server running, so I may as well SSH in from a larger screen.

Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

New No good for me.
Where would I map the Do, Remove, Select, and Insert keys? Where would I put F20? The gold key?

See, VMS people need more buttons to make their text editor go :-)

I never, EVER saw the point of the "happy hacking" keyboard. No-one's desk is THAT small.

/me throws a LK450 at you. Proper keyboard. With a Do key. And 20 function keys.

New I used a real VT320 for a while in a previous job.
It was verra ni-i-ice. I even had a go of a real VT340 once or twice - same as a 320 but colour. :-)

I'd consider a HH keyboard that had a row of function keys. True, I get used to Fn+5, but a real F5 key would be just that little bit better. I know, I know, it's hard to please *everyone*.

New Re: I used a real VT320 for a while in a previous job.
I use a 320 regularly, and I think it's OK, but I wouldn't describe it as 'verra nice".

I reserve that assessment for the 510, which is the king of dumb terminals. The 320 is, however, better than the 410 because the 410s are always very dim.

(The 340 is OK, but it is enormous and the screens are always deconverged.)
