Andre,
I have not tried "Das Keyboard". I understand they have a newer model
that has labeled keys (instead of all black). Still, why pay more for
it than a genuine model "M" and get dome switches instead of buckling
springs?
Have you tried it?

If you like clicky keyboards, don't forget to check out "Das
Keyboard", it
is more expensive than those listed before but some people swear by
them.

It appeals to the model M fans out there...

William,
I have four different Mac laptops and the Function, Enter, and
Option keys
are in different places on each. I expect the next round of Apple
keyboards
to rearrange them again.
So, I use a USB Unicomp Model "M" keyboard.
I can attach it to any of the laptops (or any desktop) and the
keys are
always where I expect them to be.
In addition:
1. the keys use the classic IBM "buckling spring" key-switch -
infinitely
better than spongy laptop scissor switches
2. when I'm ready to trade in the laptop, the keys look like new
3. this particular keyboard seems to be indestructible (some have
been in
daily use for over 25 years)
4. the layout is the same from year to year (even decade to decade)
It is about $70 at:
http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/en104bl.html
For $10 more they will include a set of Command and Option keys to
make it
look more Mac-like. This is not noted on the web-site, you have to
call and
ask. By the way, I bought the key caps but never found it
necessary to
install them (alt = option; windows = command).
Do note: except for the USB, this is same as the 1984 IBM Model
"M"; feels
just as good - and sounds just as loud.
If the concept of an external keyboard appeals to you but the "M"
is too
big, consider the Mac Mini Pro from
http://www.fentek-ind.com/kbmmacusb.htm
It has full-sized keys but no number pad. I use it when I travel.
On some versions of OS X you can also use Apple's System
Preferences to
re-purpose keys (for instance, to make the right Option key an
Enter key).
KeyReMap4Macbook
ttp://www.pqrs.org/tekezo/macosx/keyremap4macbook/
will do the same thing on any version of OS X and I think it is
easier to
use.

When you're using a mac-laptop the enter key is a combination
enter key
and
returnkey. So if you want to run a multi-line script you have to
hold the
function key down on the mac laptop keyboard and hit the return
key for it
to be an enter key. I spent ten minutes or so trying to find
another way
to
do this (there usually is another way) but could not find a
button or
anything in the RunRev IDE that would run a multi-line script if
you don't
have an enter key.
