I was really starting to worry that I wouldn’t be able to find another Cherry G80-3000 keyboard; even Cherry’s website didn’t list it anymore, instead only showing the vastly less clicky G81 range.

Happily I’ve found a stockist.

One of my pet dislikes are those people that pay lip-service to a particular problem, such as Accessibility, Internationalisation or Usability, without actually thinking about them.

My favourite example can be found at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, England.

Somebody there has clearly realised that accessibility is a problem, and ensured that every single sign has Braille added to it so that partially-sighted or blind people are able to read what they say.

They’ve only been paying lip-service to the problem though, and not thinking about it.

The evidence? The following sign, mounted directly on a door, with Braille on it:

Do not stand directly in front of this door.
