I have an IDEA dumb tube behind me, and am typing on
a PC.  You are right, I can type much faster with the dumb
tube keyboard.  When I hit a key on the dumb tube, I know
it's hit.  I can feel it.  On the PC it's a bit harder.

One of the things I look for in a computer is the keyboard.
I will type on a display model to decide if I like it or not before
I buy the computer.  A replacement keyboard is usually a lot
cheaper model than one that comes with a computer, in my
experience.

Regards,

Jim Langston
