	YES! ANd give that man in the srtaw hat a seegar!

	After waiting and thinking about howto get a user-side driver to
	make individual keys "click," and after wading thru the 30 pages
	of python that i'm now getting my head around, I decided to try
	it myself.  Borrow here/there, and put in my own click.c into
	the daemon.   According to the one-laptop-per-child group my
	program might be a win for their platform.  The "keyboard" is
	membrane-style.  Et cetera.

	Even if it only help me on my old 2005 Thinkpad, hey....
