My Atari 1040ST(FM) on YouTube

I think we got used to crappy cheap keyboards but they are better then the 80's crappy cheap keyboards. IBM Model M, Northgate, Apple extended keyboards, etc cost a decent chunk of change new, more then a new knock off tablet costs today (a whole computer). Personally I still use Model M's on all my PCs (have a stack of cleaned ones in the basement) plus a few Northgates. I just like the feel of them compared to anything new (heck anything USB). I don't think Apple made a decent keyboard since the ADB days (Haven't tried one of their chicklet keyboards yet). IBM Thinkpads had decent keyboards for a laptop, but that was when Thinkpads were IBM, the new Lenovo ones cause diehard Thinkpad users to complain. The reality is people like to complain, and the old stuff was always better then the new stuff. Deep in a bunker somewhere under a mountain some general is complaining the old Nukes were better then what we have today..... -----Original Message----- From: Terry Stewart Sent: Monday, July 29, 2013 9:08 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: My Atari 1040ST(FM) on YouTube An interesting discussion but I wonder if technology has improved the chicklet keyboard? SO...maybe the technology of the chicklet has improved...OR....have we (or I) just got used to it?
