Well, it might be expensive getting a second ergonomic keyboard -- they're
about $170 each.

I was hoping a switch would be cheaper, even if I had to buy one every 2 years.
(Buying one every year though may not be cost effective.)

I'd like 24 or 32 megs if possible.  I'm planning on doing some serious
development on this computer -- I'd like to move all the tasks I currently do
on my work's computer home to wean myself off my dependency on my
SPARCstation 10 running Solaris (this is my work's computer).
