No I'm totally with you on this one. Infact I think I am going to pay a visit to my brother with a view to retrieving my AT from him ;-} However my absolutely most favourite keyboard was that of the older IBM 5251 terminals (The russian tellies) - these had keys almost identical to that of the original golf ball electric typewriters and had a solenoid thingy inside to improve the tactile feedback - I doubt if you could get one of those to work with a PC though .... /J\
