[RTTY] Keyboard tweak

[Adrian Engele]

Bill,

FYI, There are also several manufacturers of fluorescent/day glow keyboard stickers on the market. A quick Google search will bring up many companies that offer such products. Typically under $9.

I saw one company that also offers the stickers for other languages for users with non-English keyboards.

I agree black is not the best color. That is why I stick with my trusty old heavy duty IBM keyboard with PS/2 cable. It is white with black letters and I love the solid clicking feedback when typing.
