You know, I've always liked that keyboard.  I liked the "soft" touch,
and after typing on it for so long, I learned exactly how far I needed
to press a key in order for it to register.
My first keyboard was a TI-99/4a, and then later a TRS-80 COCO II, so
the Amiga keyboard was an upgrade. :)  I used that Amiga as a primary
machine for a long time.
