My favorite keyboard of all time was the "Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite,"
which is ergonomic in design.

I can recall buying 2 or 3 of these some years ago for the price of about
$39.

Recently I thought about buying another, but then I found this:

What is going on here? Are they kidding? $336 for a cheaply made keyboard
with a PS/2 connector? (Yes, it requires a USB adapter.)

Who can explain this outrageous increase in price?

I dunno, but I wouldn't pay that much.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
