What'd you say if you had my keyboard? It's got a couple of (useful)
Windows keys, a numeric pad, and some "multimedia" keys. Can't complain, to
each their lot ;-)
And for the oldies fun: last week I had to replace an AT type PSU and get
the right wires (white, black, brown, blue) connected to the right pins or
the replacement would go where the fried one went. Don't ask how I found
the replacement in the first place.

I love green and I admire your taste, John Floren.
Thank you
By the way, this was the first picture of a VT220 I had ever seen in my
life. The no-frills keyboard looks even cooler than the display.
The keyboard is nice to type on, but unfortunately it's a VMS layout;
there is also a UNIX layout but I don't have that. The result is that
I have a really long keyboard (it has a numberpad/EDIT keypad
off-screen to the right) instead of a short keypad-less UNIX board,
and the Control key is on the wrong side of the caps lock key. Still,
a fun piece of equipment.

Just threw this onto my CPU server (yes, mock my slow processor, it
was free) and was once again pleased with how easy it is to set stuff
up on Plan 9. Just one line in plan9.ini and I was rocking.
