Neat tool.  Another company makes a similar product
(http://www.hagstromelectronics.com/modules.html, $44 for their 9x9
KE18, more for others) but at $36, that's a decent price for the MEMKEY.

  Hagstrom's KE24's are decent if you need "more keyboard" (up to 144
keys).  Need to get Robin's installed, if she'll ever figure out how she
wants it.
