Wha?? Keyboard Cover for AutoCAD Mac!

ZCover must know something we don't -- or else we know something that they don't. The company is offering a Mac keyboard cover for AutoCAD. For US$50, you get...

Keyboard skin for Apple Keyboard & Apple Wireless Keyboard. Preprinted and Molded for Apply Keyboard with Program short cut key for Autodesk AutoCAD 2006 and above.

The cover labels keys with AutoCAD shortcut keystrokes, and protects the keyboard from dirt and spills. More info here [zcover.com].

AutoCAD 2006 doesn't run on the Mac, but why would ZCover have spent the money to create a Mac keyboard cover? I've asked this Canadian company, and'll post their reply if I hear back.

I have a MCP and I run autoCAD along with about 6 other co-workers on bootcamp.

Anyone know if there is there a keyboard cover out there for 3DS Max users?

I'm thinking this must be the narrowist of niche products:

A potential customer who:
- uses AutoCAD.
- uses AutoCAD on a Macintosh in PC emmulation mode.
- uses AutoCAD on a Macintosh in PC emmulation mode and spills drinks.
- uses AutoCAD on a Macintosh in PC eummulation mode and spills drinks and needs to know (or hasn't memorized yet) AutoCAD's keyboard shortcuts.

AutoCAD runs as well on an Intel Mac using Bootcamp as it does on any PC.

Having tried it on Parrallels, but I'm guessing that it runs just as well.

Intel Macs allow for ANY app (PC or Mac based). This means there is significantly more software available for Macs now, compared to PCs.

Not a Mac user so maybe I'm way off here, but maybe it will be good for using AutoCAD on a new Intel Mac with dual boot.
