Hi, LD! (Did you used to be on U'NI-Net?) Yet another keyboard war
story: the keyboard on my work machine decided to get unreliable on me,
so I ordered a new one. Swiped an aged IBM keyboard from an older
machine as a temporary replacement. Very heavy keyboard, no click as
such but a definite tactile response when I hit the keys. Lots of
key-travel.
Got the new one in. Put -that- on the older machine, and kept the Aged
and Venerable IBM keyboard, because it was a more comfortable keyboard
for me. I'm not a tapper, I'm a pounder, especially on the numberpad --
can never get used to a wrist rest when number keying, which is terrible
carpally-speaking, natch. But I'm pretty quick with the right keyboard.
I also miss the function keys being along the left side where God
intended...
