Unicomp purchased rights to the "buckling spring" technology IBM used in their famous keyboards. They do indeed make a modern version that's USB. I'm typing on one right now. The key feel is pretty much exactly the same; I love it. It's quite sturdy, especially by modern standards. It's not *quite* as sturdy, or as heavy, as the real IBM keyboards (I have two at home), but it's close. It has withstood repeated frustrated poundings. I'm not sure it could be used as a murder weapon, but it would still hurt if hit over the head with it. My only complaint is the cable is attached, rather than removable like the classic IBM keyboard was. But even IBM dropped that in later variants. http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/customizer.html -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
