Accustomed as I am to typing on the iPad, it's not an experience I'd take over tapping it out on a proper desktop keyboard. And yet the cruel, perfect look of Dr. Kazuo Kawazaki's "Cool Leaf" still invites men of a certain age to ergonomic hell[1]: the monochrome LED dispay, the slightly pixelated glowy characters, the vague hint that it could be hackable. But a $250 price tag, and Windows-only drivers, make it easy to pass.
