I went to the Detroit garage sale last year, there was TONS and TONS of old
computer stuff. Transportation was a problem so I only made off with a
Unisys PC and a couple of odds and ends. They had a 5150 I had no way of
transporting...

Subject: OT: Dream keyboard
> OK, all this talk about best and worst, what features would you have on
your
> dream keyboard?
>
>
> Mine:
> Bluetooth wireless or corded USB/PS2 operation with rechargable batteries
> Works on Mac/PC/Sun/almost anything (Ideally it would come with a breakout
> kit to build your own adapter. Wishful thinking...)
> Tactile feedback of an IBM model "M", but with adjustable spring tension
> (I've seen a keyboard like this somewhere.)
> Make it heavy like the IBM model M as well.
> 104 "Windows" keyboard layout, but with control key in the right space,
and
> no Windows logo (Meta key instead of Windows key)
> How about replaceable control/alt/meta keys depending on what OS you're
> using? Like the Mac cloverleaf, the Windows key, the Sun meta-key, etc...
> Secondary set of programmable F-keys on the left hand side, with
> customizable keycaps.
> Defeatable mousestick between the G and H keys. I'm hooked on them.
> Volume control knob. I have one on the logitech keyboard on my windows
game
> PC at home and I use it all the time.
> Removable top-plate for easier cleaning.
> Minimal driver. I understand some of the special keys need one, just make
it
> small and unobtrusive. I don't need a task tray icon letting me know if my
> keyboard is working or not.
