    Hey! I like my clickety clack mechanical keyboard. When the last of my Keytronics (original supplier of KBDs to IBM) died I went out and found that the only mechanicals to ber had are "gaming" versions with backlit keys (good feature) and rotating colour effects (not so good feature).
    I bought a Cherry MX2 which has a great feel and the driver lets me
    pick a stable backlight colour. Plus I can return the PS2 to USB
    adapter to the "possibles" box.

    Model M keyboards are still being made by a company that bought IBM's entire keyboard manufacturing setup. Around $120.

    Just looked at Unicomp's site. U$150 probably plus shipping. They are the original builders of IBM keyboards and located right in Lexington, KY
    where IBM's confuser operations were/are head-quartered.

    That links me to a Unicomp site. And makes me glad I don't have an Apple Macintrash. The Model M for Mac is U$179. Bv)=

    I did all of the stuff when I burned throough my amateur radio phase.

    It's been 28 years since I was first licensed and still in phase (pun intended).

    A sandwich I love...

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Muffuletta
    Categories: Sandwiches, Cajun, Lunch
    Yield: 4 Servings

    I've made those. And eaten them in their home (Nawlins). Here's a very
    good recipe for the olive salad which "make" the muffalettq what it is.

    All you need then is a 10" loaf of Italian bread some provelone cheese, capicola, salami, and mortadella (Italian bologna). I substitute with
    thuringer because of my problem with horse co .... bologna.
