Thanks Bill,
That explains how they eliminate latency on the character formation.
It sounds like the between-character latency would remain, but I guess 
the longer timing is less affected by latency.
Anyway, I've decided that I don't want to be on the leading edge of this 
new technology.
A K3 remains my goal - it will probably not be obsolete in my hamming 
lifetime.
