I saw these keyboards at linux-con (yes, i know, evil evil...) and they were very sweet. The only problem is that even the el-cheepo LITE version is $69! and it's for something that has so many less keys than the standard 102 key keyboard, which you could get for like $12. I mean, i DO still want one if i ever get a high-paying job. But for right now, is there a place to get old 102 key keyboards, or anything really, for $12 or so? i have a few computers to furnish right now, and i don't feel like forking out hundreds of dollars. oh yea, the way the cursor keys are on these keyboards, it's almost impossible to scroll through past commands (tcsh, bash) casually... i think it'd have been infinatly better if they'd just done cursors like on the old macs, in one row or column. -Jesse (sorry for ranting) --- Parag Patel <parag@cgt.com> wrote: > On Fri, 07 Jul 2000 14:44:52 CDT, Craig Johnston > wrote: > > > >Although this is somewhat offtopic, I figured some > of you could point > >me towards a quality keyboard with no stupid > windows keys on it.
