Thats the thing - it seems that for the most part, the keyboard arrangement of
a T series *rarely* changes and so the "tactical feedback" starts to become 
second hand.

Whats interesting is that new cars now are all about having the "touch screen 
infotainment", so theres no tactical feedback and I think more chance for 
distracted-driving. You can't feel for the radio volume, heater controls, etc.
