I spent my early years between a //c and a tv, and later a //gs and a
tv.... from what I've heard, the //gs monitor was one of the most
radiative screens ever made... thus far I haven't noticed any extra
limbs, so I'm assuming it was safe enough...

typing... the alphabetic part only really has room for two, and I don't
use the numeric keypad that often...
