Good heavens, "Weird OLD Sun keyboard"...That's a Type 5, damn new
in my book. I still have my Type 2s...more than a decade older than
that. They felt great, too.
Those Type 5 keyboards, and their much nicer (IMO) predecessors,
the Type 4, were available with the control key in both the right and
the wrong places.

Does anyone
here have pull with Sun Microsystems or know someone
who does?
I'm trying to get the right person jazzed up about the idea of a
Type 7
keyboard built like a Model M. I've already emailed
clickykeyboards.com
about it and they'll do the engineering and design work for about
$27k. A
Type 7 sells brand new for around $50. I'm sure people would be
more than
willing to pay twice as much for a "Type 7m".
Could you explain a little more? I got off the sun bus around type 4
keyboards.
What's special about a model 7? and whats a "Model M"?
Back in the day I loved my sun keyboard, but it looked like this:

i.e. with the control key in the correct place :-)
