>> /The/ classic PC keyboard, IMHO.
It is
easy to parse what you said to be referring to "classic PC". Only of course a Model M is not the keyboard of the
PC-XT,
it's a much later model; a Model M won't work with a PC-XT and a PC-XT
keyboard won't work with anything much newer. And in any case, the
original PC keyboard is not a much loved classic with lots of fan
sites, which the Model M is.
Which is one more reason that I prefer the original 83 key keyboards.
So to be honest I don't think it was an ambiguous
statement at all!
only to those of us who don't have our language based on the
king.
Even those who
avoid the IBM products would be considered "5150" by those
familiar with police radio codes.
I know nothing about police radio codes and have
no interest in them
whatsoever. I suspect that the British police have different ones,
anyway. I'm not buying this odd implicit argument that it
was an unclear or
ambiguous phrase, in case that wasn't obvious. :-)
