I got a laugh out of this thread. At workplaces, I've had to suffer through one style after another of keyboards as they mutate over the years.
At home, I proudly pound on a True Blue IBM keyboard from days gone by (when we used to call PCs "IBM-Compatible"). Someday, I guess, they'll quit making motherboards that have "PS2" keyboard connectors and then I'll either have to dig out a USB adapter or change to something more modern. Looking at the bottom of this heavyweight beast, it says the following: IBM Model No. KB-8923 Power Rating 5V 200mA S/N: 0132228 Date: 1996-07 REV.: C01 Made in Thailand And, alas, it also says (somewhat inexplicably): "The Windows logo is a trademark of the Microsoft Corporation." Windows was trendy and new when this keyboard was made (the famed Windows 95) but as near as I can tell, there is /no/ Windows logo affixed to this keyboard, which aside from smudges of fingertip filth that someday I might try to clean, still looks brand-new. They don't make 'em like this anymore! -rich _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
