I will confess to a fondness for my old NCR Cherry-switch equipped keyboards. Nice layout, but eventually the need for F11 and F12 keys drove me back to the Model Ms. (The NCR has F-keys up to 30 with F1-F10 where god intended, along the left side, but the F11-F30 just duplicate the F1-f10 with Shift and Control added.). One of these days I'll pull one out and hack the EPROMs in it to give me real F11 and F12. Double-shot keys there also. I wonder if double-shot are all that, really. I've got several dye-sub keyboards and they don't seem to show much wear on the keys. But then, I type like I play the piano--fingers don't really touch the keys until one gets pressed. --Chuck
