Actually, that is a picture of a 3600 keyboard, designed
I believe by Jim Kulp.  This keyboard, after 20 years,
remains the best keyboard I have ever used.  The action
of the keys was sooooo sweet.

The 3600 keyboard is *way* less cluttered with keys than
the space cadet keyboard.  The 3600 keyboard has about the
same number of keycaps as my G4 laptop, and far fewer keys
than my Dell keyboard.
