Soooo: i'mm looking for a compact keyboard with built-in clicky keys. ---flames to /dev/null, guys. (circa 1988 when i joined yet-another-startup and i turned on the Sun "click" audio, my co-workers [in the same room] nearly lynched me).--- i don't watch the screen when i type; i watch my fingers. still without a solid *thunk*, i can't be certain whether i hit a key. (never took typing in high school; that was only for girls:) is there a newer, more-better, prefferedstandard than the "PS/2" essentially: small footprint, key-click [either mechanical or electronic], std layout. tia, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
