Surprised I'm the first person to mention these (altho not laptop, they
fit the 10-year rule):
Northgate Omnikey keyboards.
I find these at the local Goodwill Computerworks from time to time for
$5 each, and I snag them as fast as I see them. I've got a hoard of five
or so now, and unless my fiancee uses them (she smokes, and tends to fill
keyboards with ashes) they last forever.
My other favorite keyboards are the classic IBM "big clicky" 101-key, and
the Sun Type5 (dunno if the T5 meets the 10year rule tho).
