So why are we still supporting keyboards?  I mean really, when was the
last time anybody here actually used a keyboard?  How many of us even
still have them?  OK.. I have a couple but I hollowed them out and
made planters out of them days ago. I mean... keyboards are like so
last week!

So....  That said.  Let's ditch that obsolete input device support!
Full screen filling, extra sensitive, just a little off alignment
on-screen T-9.. now that is where it is at baby!

It's only "well established" by those that are marketing
tablets, etc. The desktop is still alive and well and
will be for some time.
