Lynette,
I never saw those old Keynotes but I have a friend who had one in the
1980s and she really loved it. I remember that she told me the keyboard
had a wonderful feel. On one of the earlier newsletters from Raised Dot
Computing a customer submitted a review of the Keynote and gave it high
praise.
