        Another, more pertinent question would be.. Do you have a computer accessories shop nearby where you could buy a keyboard with all the letters of the alphabet present? In response to your previous question I think your planet would probably be Uranus.

              Not exactly plug and play, but most of the Amiga OS used to come on a ROM chip, and a floppy disk was used just to tell the system to bring up the OS and also contain various utilities etc. Nice and responsive but not very easily upgradable (well, you could patch it using various programs if you had enough RAM).

                          I always think of Futurama everytime. Professor Hubert Farnsworth: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all. Fry: Oh. What's it called now? Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Urrectum.

                              That is roughly the same as a bootable cd/dvd version OS (Ubuntu, Knoppix). There are instructions on the web for making Ubuntu boot off of a flash drive.
