workstation.

i agree. the placement of the delete key (and the uselessly large and
nearby backspace key) are very irritating.  the meta key is miniscule.
also, the lights on ours (for cap lock, num lock, etc) don't work, which
makes the keyboard misleading.  the only good thing about the new
keyboards is that they lable the "L" function keys with their sunview
function (in addition to the "L" number).
