I found reading about the IBM MODEL M keyboard more interesting.
My computer just died, and had to buy a new one. The USB keyboard that
came with it, is too cheap with too many keys that I can't type with it.
So I got looking for 'THE BEST KEY BOARD MADE' on the web,
and I ordered a ?NEW refurbished model M and the correct USB adapter
to go with it. So what, key boards do you all use, if for don't have a
DEC terminal online?

I use a Northgate OmniKey 102. ?They will bury me with that keyboard.
We had the luxery of being able to buy them in stores here in MN a very
long time ago, when Northgate Computer was a local clone manufacturer.
Their computers were junk but somehow they got the keyboard right.

I think Gateway used to ship a variant of those, a bigger one with 2
sets of F-keys, programmable?
As shown on here:

I had one. I think I gave it away - I was never all that impressed.
Not enough "feel" for me.
