On the go with the GoType keyboard (continued)

Conclusions and strange animals
All in all, the GoType keyboard behaved well and I was able to type very quickly with no lag time. However, when I left the Palm organizer on the stand in the off position for more than a minute or two, the keyboard driver disabled itself, though removing the Palm device from the keyboard and turning off and on reset it back to normal. It wasn't a terrible inconvenience, but it was a little inconsistent with how well everything else was working. I'll assume this is a bug, albeit a minor one.

I'm all for tiny toys, and this tiny toy rocks the house. Four out of five wildebeasts for the GoType keyboard, with an additional wildebeast when they move the Shift key back to its standard position. (for those of you keeping track, I've decided to move into the larger mammalian rating system.)
