Shiftless keyboards

No, I'm not talking about keyboards that just sit there. I was looking around at antique typewriters, and came across this beauty:

Not only does it not need a shift key, it has a matrix layout. How awesome is that? I'd probably even get used to the split number keys (I can only surmise that 1 was replaced by l and 0 by O).

Of course, adding between 26 and 47 new keys just to get rid of shift and capslock seems somewhat excessive, but it would be a lot of fun to try a computer keyboard like that.

Of course, HP/Compaq has their own version...

That's harsh. Maybe he just can't type. :)
