Well, clearly the 630 keyboard (both models), as well as the IBM "advanced"
AT-keyboard and the many clones are designed for left-handed people only.
You can have the mouse very close to your left hand, and that should be
very convenient. (I think one wants to access the mouse more often than the
coffeecup.) For right-handed people like me the numeric keypad and the cursor
keypad have only one effect: they put the mouse farther away from the usable
part of the keyboard.

I am still waiting for someone to interface the nice gnot-keyboard to the
630...

Paul.
