[Coco] Is it me, or are chiclet keyboards coming back?

[John Guin]

Between the Mac notebooks (whichever the cheap ones are named nowadays) and
now the Sony Vaio TZ, are chiclet style keyboards coming back?

I thought the chiclet keyboard on the gray Cocos was hard to use, odd
looking and a big reason people went with other brands which had much better
keyboards.  I also remember people raving about the original IBm keyboard.

So did I miss some hidden attribute of a chiclet that makes them desirable
(again)?

Just curious, and feel free to treat this as a rhetorical question,
John
