Wow! Now that is a keyboard. I supposed if one actually became very
accustomed to it (and software support existed for it), it might make
mathematical typesetting easier, as it has a whole bunch of the symbols
one would use.  I love the idea of having greek letters built right in --
that would be great if I could get used to it.

But that is a truly dizzying array of keys and key combinations.  To be
good with that, one would need to practice like a violin player!

That is some cool stuff, Thanks Jed.
