So if you can stand those clicking noises... >-- >Pierre Leblanc, pierrele@leblanc.interax.net > The closest thing to the real IBM keyboard in the non IBM world is the OmniKey by NorthGate Computers in Mnpls / St. Paul area (P.O. Box 59080, Minneapolis, MN 55459-0080). They run about $100 or a bit more if you want a set of function keys both to the left and above of the regular letter keys. Also, noisy (clicky) but excellent tactile feedback, exceptionally durable, can be programed to do a few neat things. A long time winner of "BEST OF..." competitions. You should be able to call them at 800/526-2446. I have one on both of my computers. -- gordy slifer
