> what does everyone think of the new PS/2 style keyboards ... Why is it that every computer company, when it starts to feel important, changes keyboards on us? IBM do it, DEC do it, Apple did it, now Sun are doing it. It must be 100 years since typewriters were invented and we still can't agree on where the keys should be? I'm using a 3/50 -- the Alt, compose, help, F1 through F12, etc keys do nothing for me. My ideal keyboard, for a mouse-based system, would be the one you used to get on the old Macintoshes (just alphanumerics and punctuation, no function keys) plus a detachable VT100 keypad for people who need VT100 emulation.
