You guys are using the wrong laptops. I've written tens (if not

desktop keyboard with the same mechanism. Now, I LOVE the venerable
Model M, but I can absolutely fly on one of these Al PowerBook (and
similar) keyboards.
Well, if you have any extra of "the right ones" by all means feel free to
send 'em in my direction...

Re. Model
M itself - it's nice to be typing on one; I've suffered
a laptop keyboard for far too long!
I can't imagine trying to do any significant amount of typing on
one. A bit here and there, yeah, but not much...
