Here's a new discussion for ya': a top ten
list of the best laptop
kayboards! I already know who's going to be number 1, but, just the
same,
here are my picks for the list:
Postion Laptop
1. TRS-80 Model 100
Hear hear!
2. TRS-80 Model 200
(In the Top 5) Macintosh Portable
(In the Top 10) Toshiba T-1000
I used a T-1100 extensively in 1992 while I was in Bolivia. I don't
remember a particular fondness for the keyboard. However, this was back
before keyboards started to suck, so maybe I wasn't as alert to keyboard
feel.
BTW : what *is* it about keyboards these days? I use a 5 year old
keytronics keyboard. The K, L, N and M keys now lack letters (right
handed guitarist with long fingernails). I've thought of replacing it,
but none of the keyboards I try have the same hard feel. They all feel
wishy-washy. I'm currently concidering a (not classic) happy hacking
keyboard, but wish I could try one out first.
