OK, I'll add to the list - any keyboard (well, anything electronic) made by
BTC Taiwan (www.btc.com.tw). "Quality control? Wossat then?". They've managed
to produce keyboards that look like normal PC keyboards, but feel like the
old dead-flesh Sinclair keyboards when you type on them...
Just for extra points, they've also built DVD and CD-RW drives that had weak
lasers, causing rewrite operations to fail rather spectacularly. From what
I've heard, one dealer had a 3ft stack of drives, all with the same fault,
namely "no rewrite functionality"...
Later.
