I have to admit, the keyboard for my PC setup is fantastic.  It's some
generic ergo thingee, but instead of being angled up, it's angled down. 
Feels really comfortable.

But, what I'm *REALLY* looking for, is a membrane ergo keyboard. 
Something very Star Trek-ish.  Just flat, with the keys arranged like an
ergo.  I've checked every web site known to man, and can't seem to find
anything like it.  So far, the closest I've come are several industrial
types, but they're not ergo, nor do they have all the keys of a 101 key
keyboard.  

If anyone knows of one, let me know.  I think that would be the most
comfortable fit for me.  I'd probably rip it apart, and put in some kind
of speaker, so it would beep and twip like an LCARS interface. ;)
