I have had problems of one sort or another with keyboards ever since IBM introduced that abortion they called the "PC" in 1981. IBM had the best keyboard in the world at that time, on their Selectric typewriter - instead we got a flat thing that clicked.
Then about 1984, some idiot moved the control key from its time honored place next to 'A' and put it down in a awkward, uncomfortable, and useless position at the bottom of the keyboard. And now, Apple has reintroduced "Chicklet" keyboards which I thought the Commodore VIC=20 had forced out of existence for all time! What's next Apple? Membrane keyboards again?
