Have you used the new stock Apple keyboards?  Their new mice (with the 
*one* button on the BOTTOM of all places)?  Both of them annoy me to no 
end when I'm forced to use them.  If they are an example of a "better 
standard" I'm glad I still have my trust ultra-clicky ancient IBM PS/2 
keyboard thank-you very much.  (And three buttons on top of my mouse)
