RE: Keyboard Recommendations

I had forgotten about those PS/2 keyboards.  I used to use
one from PS/2 Model 30 to PS/2 Model 95, when I worked at
a company that used True Blue.  Any other keyboard pales
by comparison, IMO.  You *knew* when a key was pressed by
the tactile feedback, they just felt right.

I was going to say that too - the PS/2 keyboards are the best I've ever
used...
