Subject: Re: Best keyboards you've used ever!
2. The Original Macintosh keyboard.
3. The Tandy 100/102/200 keyboards.
Yes, I'd forgotten about those. The 100 one is excellent, and therefore by
association so is the NEC equivalent.
Funny that a company that can't make a decent
operating system to save
their, uhhh, assets can make such a comfortable keyboard! Go figure!
I suspect they had as much input in the design of that as I did :)

Well, I forgot one on my list: Just about any keyboard
that has an "Any"
key on it (for "kitch" value).
"Hay, Phil! The computer says 'Calculation complete, hit any key', what
should I do?"
"You see that key at the top right corner of the keyboard, the one marked
'Any'?"
"Yeah...."
"Press it."

I want a keyboard that's completely outfitted with NKK SmartSwitch LCD
switches and clear plastic covers. They're about $20 each in 10-off though
IIRC...
Later.
