Fully agreed!!!! Although I confess being a silent PC geek and there is hardly anything that nerves me more than noisy PCs that I must work with for hours , this does not apply to keyboards. This is typed on a Model M style keyboard with 122 keys that I got from ebay for 10€. Looks like this http://www.shoppalstores.com/ibmmodelm/image//2002021-004.jpg Unfortunately not all keys work with a PC, but all I need and much more is there. This one is also suitable for self-defence and in case you need a hammer but do not one, you do not need to buy one. They are great, they are even greater when your PC is silent and they are greatest when there is no one else in the room who is constantly complaining about your IBM klicky-keyboard noise. ;-) Lately I found a solution to the latter problem and bought my wife another Model M. Now we are both on Klickey-Keyboard, she never wants to use anything else keyboardwise and most important, we are in love, once again. ;-)) regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
