I learned about an interesting keyboard system today: The Janko Chromatic Keyboard

It has actually been pulled out of the ashes and redone in electronic keyboard format. See the Chromatone 312 for an example.

I like how USB means all of the cables on your computer have the same connector, but is anyone else annoyed by how difficult it is put the plug in right-side-up? I am usually reaching back around the side of my computer to plug it in, making it difficult to tell if I have the plug flipped around quite right. And you don't get much feedback when you are plugging the cable in as to whether it is right-side-up because even when it is oriented correctly it still can be difficult to get it plugged in correctly.
