Ever since I read _Robots of Dawn_ as a kid- Gladia Delmarre had a similar interface for giving orders to her robotic servants that she imported from Solaria. Having a TI/99-4A with a 40-key keyboard and funky function and control combinations for a lot of characters, this seemed like heaven.

In reality, it's just a modern version of a macro keyboard though- and I suspect, in the long run, will be equally useful (less).

He didn't do that! Somebody else did! What's the point in blaming a mediocre guy who's just plucking the fruit of statism that others planted?
