I ran my Mac Plus with a Datadesk 101 keyboard for years, and I *loved* it
-- the Mac Plus keyboard is the pits, and the Datadesk was better than any
other keyboard I'd had a chance to use until then (including my Sun
Workstation keyboards, which should come as no surprise to anyone). I agree
with Shirley, though -- the 101 macro software is inadequate. Use Quickeys.
When I got my Mac SE/30, I played around with both the Apple Extended
keyboard and the 101 on my Mac Plus. I went with the Apple Extended -- it
was a *very* close race -- and I wish that Apple would take a few lessons
from the 101, mainly putting little bars on the F and J keys, instead of the
dots ont he D and K keys (I believe that's where they are).
Or maybe I just learned typing in a non-standard manner...

-- until you see a BETTER one."
