Hey, another 18 year old keyboard.
I'm typing this on my IBM "M"-Type keyboard from 1985.
Still working perfect...
With the famous "click".
Impossible to destroy.
But without windows key.
So most of the time no wish to destroy it.
The only problem with it is that anyone who you might share an office with will attempt to kill you sooner or later because of the sound of the "click".
I recently heard that some company took over the rights from IBM and continues to produce them. Probably with windows key this time.
@DarthHelmet:
"Faceless" is obviously a subjective thing. Maybe its because of my age that I think they were more different to each other than todays computers. Anyway, all your arguments that any modern one is much better and can be upgraded much better is true. Never objected to that.
@RRS:
About the "ancient users" discussion that you added:
Nobody gets obsolete just because someone can use a computer *faster*.
I'm sure they could train a monkey to work or type faster than me.
But I don't think they will want to replace me. Even if the "Type M" keyboard would be the right one for monkeys. And even if I sometimes wish they would.
PS: No monkeys were harmed writing this post.
