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

[Alex Snow]

I've had one of these for about 6 or 7 years now...it was mainly used 
my linux workstation, which has now been pretty much relegated to 
basic server duties, so the keyboard doesn't get used all that 
much...but I go back to it every once in a while, really like the 
feel.
