[ale] In praise of MicroSoft

[Drifter]

If you make a living with your gut up against a keyboard,
google "buckling spring."  That will get you to sources for replicas of 
the original IBM computer keyboard that was lifted directly from the old 
Selectric typewriters.  Fandamtastic touch. Just don't drop it on your 
foot.  These days available with  usb plug and with/without the "click."  
You don't want the click if you work in a cube farm; it will drive your 
neighbors nutz in short order.

Sean,
who is now on his second one. The first one died after nearly 20 years of 
daily use.
