I have a similiar problem: Due to the large size of the XT style
motherboards, my desk devoted to classic computers isn't big enough. I can
fit the computer on, the monitor on the computer, and the keyboard on the
floor. When you try to type, it's not fun. (Type a command. Stop. Before
entering it, look up at monitor. Takes about twice as long.)
PS- How do you post an origional message? Do you just send one to9
classiccmp_at_u.washington.edu , or somewhere else?

One of the minor annoyances about collecting classic computers is the
variety of decisions that were made in placement of punctuation on the
keyboards. That was supposed to be feet, not inches, of course. And it
would be worse, not better, if I were a touch typist.
