You know windows key, right click key, maybe power/sleep buttons that would have interchangeable caps? The "Windows" key is the same as "Super" on Sun keyboards, and there's an equivalent for the right-click or "application" key as well. So they weren't MS innovations; actually they were MS /replacing/ keys that IBM's design omitted. As such, my "anti" stance on them has softened considerably. :?) Yes, I believe there are Model-M clones with them. However, one friend bought a Unicomp type clone "Model M" clicky keyboard and both he and I were very disappointed with its build quality. Me, I stick to genuine retro parts. I have a small stock of them -- half a dozen -- which is probably enough for the rest of my life! :-/ The power/sleep key you mention is /not/ a standard key, AFAIK, and no I don't think most clicky keyboards have one. -- Liam Proven ?
