Gary,

Great info.  Thanks.

It would be great if someone could start collating information about 
the buttons, both physical and electrical characteristics.  This way, 
when we start writing the button handling code we will have plenty of 
information to consider when selecting the best solution.

Would you care to moderate this task?  Please?
