Hi Zach, I've read about the Advantage, and I'd certainly like to try one out. I don't suppose you'd be interested in bringing it to the next dorkbot meeting? I am a little worried about spending $250 on a keyboard I haven't ever tried. BTW, you say you've been using them for ten years … how long does one last you? I've found that the bubble-membrane keyswitches in my GoldTouch keyboards get worn out after about a year of heavy coding. -mykle- _______________________________________________ dorkbotpdx-blabber mailing list [email protected] http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/dorkbotpdx-blabber
