I don't want windblows keys though, I want something unique that can be reached with my right pinky with my right thumb on the control key. I'm usually eating hamburgers or reading programming books, or typing on my other computer with my other hand and it is annoying not being able to multitask as a human when multitasking under TASKMGR. :o) Ooops, spilled a little relish there...
