[ale] [OT] high visibility keyboards on sale at big lots

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

I can touch type, but you still have to find the home keys, particularly 
if the room lighting is somewhat dim.  Sometimes, when I'm at the pc 
briefly, I have only a light on the other side of the room on besides 
the computer monitors.  The brilliant planners for the house put the 
light switch on the far side of the room from where the door is.

If I'm spending any period of time at the keyboard, I turn all the room 
lights on.
