Bob,
I spent six months trying to find just a 104-key keyboard. Even went to
direct importer for Chicony [who made the keyboards I preferred for
years]. No luck. Everything is a windoze keyboard. Mine is a 104 cuz I
pulled off the 3 doze keys. <G> I couldn't stand to go to an 85 key
keyboard, because I started out with TI Profesional, and their keyboard
had one more key than the standard 'extended' keyboards -- a back DEL
key at the numeric keypad, so if you were doing numeric entry only
[which was most often the case when I was doing bookkeeping], you didn't
have to go elsewhere on the keyboard to make a correction.
I also need to have a keyboard I can hear click, and where I can feel
the keys pop back up after I hit them. I learned to type on a manual
typewriter. Would you believe I *gave*away* my Xerox electronic with
multiple fonts and built in microprocessor plus memory, because I didn't
ever use it for anything except envelopes? Now with my inkjet printer
if I *really* need printed envelopes I can set up a form and print them
from the form. I use a rubber stamp for return address already ...
totally "tacky" but terribly convenient. <G>
l.d.
