When we had the last discussion I obtained one of those clunky clicky IBM keyboards. I think they are officially the model M. It has a ps/2 connector - however the cable is detachable at the keyboard as well as the computer end, so may be of a different vintage. The keyboard itself is suitable for playing cricket, although perhaps heavier than the average cricket bat. I stopped using it for a while when I had my computer in the bedroom during renovations, because if my wife went to bed before me she complained that the clicks were so loud. Damn fine keyboard, but I don't think the trademe one looks the same (although it is definitely cleaner than mine!) http://www.scoutingaround.com/computers/keyboard/Model_M.html OMG there is even http://modelm.org/ > > -- > Windows: Where do you want to go today? > MacOS: Where do you want to be tomorrow? > Linux: Are you coming or what? -- Nick Rout Barrister & Solicitor Christchurch <http://www.rout.co.nz> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
