Maybe for IDEs, I use a few different ones and can never remember
whether to hit Ctrl+F5, F6, or Shift+F8 to do "build & execute".

Come to think of it, a keyboard with programmable-image function keys would be a good start (and probably cheaper to make).

I remember reading an old PCW article in the eighties that said by now,
we'd all be using touch-sensitive slate-PC type things that displayed
the keyboard on the screen (hence could use anything for the keycaps)
and some special thixotropic coating so that it gave tactile feedback.

I bet the keys would get pretty hot, unless dot matrix doesn't heat up, I dunno

You're onto something here, let cold fingers be a thing of the past! Horrah for DrGlass, horrah for the future!

I was thinking that if the key board buttons got too hot it wouldn't be
nice to use... but I suppose if you played your computer out side in
the artic it would be nice.

though there is already some space age product out there that warms hands and holds water or tea...

gloves!

So I'm to believe that this 'gloves' product not only heats your chilly
fingers, but also can hold an unspecified amount of water or tea?
Nonsense! Clap-trap!

Could be very useful. You could go to the movies without buying something to drink but taking something with you. Something you really like....
