Rumor has it that Vintage Computer Festival may have mentioned these words:
>How about the absolutely WORST keyboards?
>
>1) Sinclair ZX series
Yea, had one of those...
>2) Coco 1
Yea, chicklet sucks...
>3) Coco 2
Erm... no. The CoCo2 keyboard wasn't that bad, really. If this were my
list, I'd replace that with the Atari 400. What were they thinking: "Let's
take this keypad off of a microwave, stick it on a computer, and market
it!" ;-O
>4) Aquarius (my first)
>5) Original PET
Dunno about those two, so I can't say, but due to their size, the Tandy
Pocket computer series were all pretty bad (understandably...) but I
/think/ it was the PC-5 that was pretty much a portrait calculator w/a
non-qwerty microwave keypad on the right for a keyboard -- that would be my
vote...
[[ I didn't care for any of the Tandy pocket computers after the PC-2...
and I owned most of 'em at one point in time, except the one mentioned
above. ]]
Just my $0.0000000000000002 worth...

Recycling is good, right??? Randomization is better!!!
