Keyboards - oh, the clickyness (was:Re: Anyone know what is happening in Debian Lenny?)

Hello, I actually had one of these old IBM keyboards, I found it for four dollars at a thrift store.
it lasted for about six months before I got tired of it and got my apple keyboard.

Speaking of keyboards, here are three amusing and good articles from Dan's

Be warned: if you don't regularly read Dan's Data (or even if you do), you 
may find hours have gone by once you come up for air.
