I remember a long time ago seeing in magazines something that had a single button per finger and relied on the user learning key combinations to make up letters but I have not seen this for ages, does anyone know what I am talking about?

Someone mod the parent up, this is a very good point. However, there is a lot of code in these types of critical systems that the companies are going to want to keep that way (competitive advantage etc.). Could you force them to open up only the safety critical code?
