Abstract: An apparatus for entering alphabetic data into a computer or other electronic or mechanical devices with a keyboard, wherein the keys are placed in an ordered arrangement. The vowels AEIOU are grouped together and arranged on a left side of the keyboard. The vowels are arranged in alphabetic order vertically across the three rows of keys with letters AE on the top row, the letters IO on the middle row, and the letter U on the bottom row. Each of the vowels has a same color. Consonants are arranged in consonant groups comprised of BCD, FGHJK, LMNPQ, RST, and VWXYZ. The consonant groups are arranged from left to right in alphabetic group order. The consonants in each of the consonant groups are arranged vertically across the three rows of the keys. The key groupings may also be differentiated by color.

Abstract: An apparatus for entering alphabetic data into a computer or other electronic or mechanical devices with a keyboard wherein the alphabet is arranged in a logical order, a keyboard wherein the vowels are grouped together, a keyboard wherein the vowels are all placed on the left side of the keyboard, a keyboard wherein each vowel has the same color code, a keyboard wherein the consonants are arranged in groups, a keyboard wherein the consonant groups are arranged from left to right in alphabetic group order, and a keyboard wherein each consonant within a group has a specific color code; wherein two groups of consonants have the same color.

Abstract: A display system is provided, including a rigid or non-rigid display surface having a display side and a non-display side, with one or more holes being formed through the surface. In one embodiment the display surface is a non-rigid curtain. Multiple fasteners define central openings in and are arranged on the display side of the display surface, such that the central opening of each fastener is aligned with the holes. The system also includes light strings containing one or more light nodes. The light nodes include a light source, such as an LED or other suitable light source. The light strings and light nodes are arranged so that each light source protrudes from the non-display side of the display surface, through a corresponding hole to the display side of the display surface, and through the central opening of a corresponding fastener.
