 Steve Roberts had the right idea, but was probably too far ahead of

I remember reading about him back in the day. Aside from the amazing level of electronic technology, I was amazed by his typing system. As I recall, his handlebars had far fewer keys than a standard computer keyboard. He typed as he rode by hitting multiple keys to represent each letter he wanted to type.
Learning to type on a different type of keyboard, such as European or Dvorak, is difficult enough.

Learning to type on Roberts' system must have been like learning to play a musical instrument designed by an outer space alien.
