[HPCC-Conf] Best HP49 Keyboard?

[Richard Schwartz]

Keyboard?  Why not an overlay that is marked the same as the naked keys...
but is in a more contrasty color scheme than silver, gold, and dead hampster
silver blue on aluminum.

I think that the very concept of keys is obsolete.   Every key is a contact
closure that is a potential point of failure due to dirt, manufacturing
imperfection, or mechanical wear.   We would be much better off with hotkeys
on a touch-sensitive screen....   oops... there is already a computer that
does that!   I guess it is a thought crime for anybody at HP to consider the
idea.
