This keyboard is exactly the way to go. The spacing is wide and old-style, but without the keypad, allowing control of the mouse in the space where the keypad would have been. This has reduced my arm motion from keyboard to mouse and back drastically. Over the course of a 10hr programming day, that's a lot less stress on one's elbow.
I bought mine off eBay, but they can also be found sometimes at clickykeyboards.com, for something of a premium price (~$85).
Perhaps remedial writing courses will help some, but some of the examples make me think otherwise.
Clarity of thought is a needed foundation for clarity of expression. I belive that most of this sort of poorly-formed grammar arises from poorly-formed thoughts.
Remedial informal logic might be a better place for many people to start. (Try telling that to your boss, and see how far that gets you, though.)
Well, IIRC, this isn't an NCSA project, it's being run by the Beckman Institute. They do have the advantage, however, of being able to run upstairs and talk to the NCSA people who've been doing this stuff for quite a while now (and are located in the same building).
I learned CAVE programming on the CAVE at NCSA; I hope I get the chance to play with this one some! (Not holding breath)

They are not quiet.
