The best thing about the 5250-11 was it's tendency to blow raspberries at
users.  I love that sound!

Talk about a strange keyboard.  I start a project tomorrow to migrate a
v3r2
CISC to RISC but the terminal I have to use is an actual 5250-11.  I had a
difficult time remembering where the keys were much less reaching up for
them.

IMHO- That keyboard on the 5250-11 and 5250-12 had the best tactile feel of
any keyboard developed by IBM, or anyone else for that matter.  It provided
just the right amount of resistance.  Light years beyond the cheap
'quiet-key' junk out there today.
