This keyboard has the best keyswitches ever made. I have several downstairs
if anyone is interested... the one that I used and a couple more that I
picked up at the MIT flea market as backups. They don't have the Microsoft
keys and use the old-style keyboard connector and need an (standard) adaptor
to connect to the PS-2 port.

A clone of the Northgate designed by the same engineers and that uses the
same keyswitches and costs an arm and a leg.

Just got in a keyboard with illuminated keys to use while working on TMG in
the middle of the night.

Got this terrible keyboard addiction... Need help badly. <g>
