There has been some discussion lately about keyboards.  I have a
question that may turn into a debate, but I'm wondering which is
better, the Apple Extended keyboard or the DataDesk Mac 101 keyboard?
Now, by "better" I'm really asking someone who has tried them both to
guage the feel of the keyboard.  I'm looking for ease of hand
posturing, tactile feedback on a press and relative ease to reach all
the keys.  For example, the old Macintosh keyboard forces the hands to
be too high up for comfortable use, absolutely no tactile feedback
when a key is pressed but the keys are all relatively easy to get to.

Any feedback is appreciated.
