Chisels attached to your fingertips? You marvel when a keyboard still works
after just one little year? My most heavily used keyboard is a Northgate.
(Remember them? The company that promised to "Cut the baloney", with a
photo of what they fondly thought was Bologna but was just salami.) I
think it was first plugged into my 486/33, which became a 486/133, then
a 586/133, and now a 586/650. The keyboard seems to thrive on its diet
of hairs, scurf, and small insects. The last time I looked, you could
buy a replica from http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/hardware/omnikey/ (at
a stiff price); unfortunately the site seems to have disappeared, or
perhaps is just temporarily indisposed.
