Error in June 2008 issue (The Apple Adjustable Keyboard _did_ exist)
Page 28, "The NumPad Plus".
This section discusses the details of the patent for the numeric keypad module of the Apple Adjustable Keyboard (Family Number: M1242). It includes a very clear sketch of the module. However the blurb ends with the statement: "This gadget was never produced".
The Apple Adjustable Keyboard was released in 1992 and sold for $119.

It was my first split keyboard, and it was very, very sweet.
