Re: APL Keyboard stickers now available

[Chris Moller]

    Roger that, as we used to say under different
      circumstances--great stickers.
      
      But I APL in two places in my house, one with a black keyboard,
      the other off-white.  Russ says he'll get a white set made if
      enough people order a black set and there's enough interest in a
      white set.  So I'd consider it kindly if y'all would help me get a
      white set.  :-)

Hi,

I received my stickers this week and they work very well (in particular on flat notebook keyboards).

A tip for peeling the labels off more easily: remove the "background" material (i.e. the black plastic
between the individual keys) beforehand in one go and leaving the key stickers on the paper carrier.

After that, peeling off the individual key sticker has become considerably easier.

Best Regards,
Jürgen

I hope this does not violate mailing list decorum but I thought there might be interest here. I have produced a set of APL keyboard stickers for those who wish to adapt their current desktop or laptop keyboards to have APL symbols. Dedicated desktop PC APL keyboards are over $100 USD, and laptop keyboards can't be replaced easily, so these are an ideal solution -- I now have them on both of my laptops (Dell XPS and Acer Aspire) and am very happy with their appearance.

The initial production run was for 1,500 sheets, so I have plenty for educational bulk orders. They match standard GNU and Dyalog APL layouts.

If I sell just 30 of these, I can recover the cost of the current black sticker production run, and will consider doing a white version. I have already received a few requests for those to use on the Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard units.
