re: Nintendo

Nintendo had some kind of glove control for their video game system, but that was 15 years ago and they've probably dropped it. When Nintendo was first introduced I remember alot of people familiar with Commodore 64 computers complaining that it didn't have a joystick control, just these sissy buttons.... but they sold it that way anyway because it was cheaper to manufacture that way. And people bought them by the millions too. Computer manufacturers should do the same with the Dvorak keyboard IMO. After all it is a genuine improvement, and is proven to save time. In offices I've seen estimates of 17 minutes per hour time savings, or 3-4 hours per day. That's alot.
