    Keyboards, love 'em or hate 'em

    Here's one he likes:

    Inside the World's Greatest Keyboard | PCWorld

    And a bunch he hates:

    The 10 Worst PC Keyboards of All Time | PCWorld

    Number 10 in the Worst: the original Commodore PET.

    I'd forgotten quite how hideous it really was.

        The only keyboards I don't like are the clackety cheap ones.

        I've never come across a mouse pad I like. Horrid things - They keep registering clicks just because one's thumb is hovering over them!

            I think I have, or had, one of those IBM ones.

            I have a feeling I might have chucked it out.

            I want to go home now to see.

              Still available from a company called unicomp who bought the rights to the design.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                Spooky, Mr C is still using a keyboard almost identical to the Model M on his PC and refuses to use anything else.
