Robert asked:
I'm curious.  The Avants
have, as you know, a pretty thorough programmability.

Where do they fall short compared to the Prokey?  What's the layout
on the

Prokey -- F keys left?

102 keys?  I assume they are no longer
available(?)

1. I don't fully recall the Avant's shortcoming, but I think it was my
inability to work fully successfully with their programming
user-interface. I don't think it was anything that the keyboard itself
can't do.

2. The Prokey has F keys on the left AND duplicated above (including, on
the above set, PF11 and PF12).

3. Prokey is no longer available. Hard to get even on ebay. Even your
cleaning guy wasn't familiar with it.

BTW, another name for Prokey is Maxi Switch.
