I find they're placed ideally for using as additional bucky bits;
specifically I have mine as the Super, Hyper and Mode_switch keys.
Super and Hyper are available but unbound in Emacs, so it's ideal to
add your own preferred key combinations on (without needing lots of
double buckys), and Mode_switch is great for typing accented
characters or a second script.
By the way, I have a hack to nxterm to make Super and Hyper generate
the proper ^X@s and ^X@h prefixes to make Emacs recognize them across
a terminal link. I'll probably put it up on ftp.kernel.org and send
an RPM to RedHat (mine is based on the nxterm SRPM from RedHat 5.2).
I really like the original Microsoft Natural keyboard; the new one is
utter crap.
