I used Emacs for six years at my previous job. The keyboards we had  
there had the regular keys and then three row of membrane function  
keys. The function keys were easily programmed with macros and there  
was a slot to fit in a paper with labels. Every 4-6 months the paper  
would start wearing out. I would be reprogram the keyboard, keeping  
the most smudged keys and reprogramming the least smudged. Oh do I  
miss those keyboards.
