Airbus A380 Panaramic Cockpit View. Pretty cool for those cockpit er, flight
deck fans like myself. Also I have to hand one thing to those frigs, they
put a QWERTY keyboard on the damn thing, why everyone else uses the A, B, C,
D keyboard is beyond me.

Even more surprising since I understant that the usual French
keyboard layout is not that one.

"The AZERTY layout is used in France, ..."
Nice panorama thingy. Thanks.
One odd bit that I cant figure out - what on earth are
the "eggs" just below the QUERTY?

Wrist rests to reduce whatever that stress is that people get from
non-ergonomic keyboards.

Actually I think they're "cursor control devices" - basically a mouse/trackball-type thing. I've
never seen one in person but it looks like you rest your palm on the thing and use your fingers to
control it, the "control" part not being visible in the photo because it faces toward the front of
the plane.
