Not paying $100 for a keyboard unless it's made from gold. I'm back on the KTX. It's like typing on a sponge, but at least I can program without copy-and-pasting *, ( and ).


Will take the Model M apart tonight and have a squiz. Might be easier to find another one though...

BTW I checked on IBM's web site, and they still have some of my particular type of Model M keyboard available new:

The price says $call now, but last time I checked, it was something like $45 US.

Cheers,
Carl.
