	Well, technology moved a *little* too fast.  With the bigger screens of
today, and (as Dean Cashen noted on CSL) even better ones on the horizon, the
need for an expanding keyboard was no longer a priority.  I personally prefer
the smaller 701 screen, but I recently spoke with someone upgrading to a 560
who touted the joys of seeing 2 windows at once without virtual screens or
other "hacks."  Still, seing that keyboard open is a nice site, hmm?
