	How about the IBM keyboards that came with their 386 PS/2 boxes? Four
years ago (yikes, thats a lot at 19) I was on a team in my high school to 
retire 386 labs, and I think I've been using that same keyboard since. The
damn keyboard shows no sign of ever dying. I'm going to go back to pick up
spares just in case tho :)
	Its loud, clickity and unbreakable. What more can you ask for?

	Tugrul Galatali (mildly freaked at his use of 386s only 4 years ago...
today he can barely bring himself to save < P200MMX systems. Hell, he has 
P133/P166MMX sitting on his monitor waiting for a dual socket 5 board that
takes dimms if he ever finds one cheap. *hint hint =P*)

*another random musing*
	Whatever happened to the days when I thought P5s should have been 
where Intel stopped developing CPUs and the world should have started 
developing efficient software instead? I remember P5 60s running Win 3.1
like lightning for what its worth... (that was the first current computer
I encountered after using second hand Apple IIes and IBM XT at home. I was 
blown away :)
