Do you know where (or if) you can buy ergonomic, or 'split' keyboards in Hong Kong? In particular, I'm thinking of the Acer Future keyboard or the Cherry Ergoplus (The Microsoft Natural Keyboard doesn't count as it's not in the same league.) I phoned Acer, who said Fortress. Ho hum, I thought, and sure enough, Fortress didn't know what I was talking about. They said JOS, who had no idea. JOS said 298 . . . but of course, they don't carry anything remotely legal. Any ideas? DAVID CONIAM Chinese University I have to agree with JOS on this one. 298 is a good bet or Whampoa Internet Zone in Whampoa Gardens, Hunghom. I have seen an Acer Future keyboard there, although I have not come across the Cherry.
Do any of these operating systems come with a Basic interpreter? If not how does one load one? Old DOS versions used to come with Basic interpreters.
Is there any relationship between DOS Basic and Visual Basic. Can I easily convert the program to Visual Basic? I have a Visual Basic Interpreter but don't know how to use it.
EDWARD CHASE Pokfulam Run QBasic, which is present in DOS 6.22. 'Edit' for DOS 6.22 is the QBasic editor.
Visual Basic is a lot more advanced than QBasic. A VB programmer friend tells me that although most QBasic programs will run in VB, you might have to perform some code-tweaking.
