slipstreamsurfrHow can this be?!?!
Had to post. I just bought a new Apple pro keyboard for my old B&W g3. It has such a nice feel. My old keyboard was the original one that came with the g3 when it was made. It has a lot of years and miles on it. This one is SO much more responsive to keystrokes! It felt like I was having to slam the keys/hit them just right and square in order to not miss characters when I was typing.
la la la la la la!
Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a keyboard junkie. I am a fast typist, and learned to type in high-school on an old IBM Selectric. Needless to say, I hate mushy keyboards as well as stiff, stodgy keyboards. This Apple keyboard has a nice feel, there is enough action that it provides feedback when I'm typing, but it's not so stiff that I have to really manhandle it to be able to type. It doesn't rattle when you type either like a lot of cheap keyboards do.
Not bad for a USB keyboard. I looked at the wireless one that Apple makes, but my old G3 doesn't have bluetooth and I'm not about to try to add a card to support it. I'll leave the bluetooth keyboard for my next Mac.
Anyway, I'll go back to being my normal quite self now. A week and a half to go before I can register for the spring semester!

Date: 2004-10-25 07:16 am (UTC)I'm not really complaining, it was just time for a new one. Heck, they keyboard must be some 5 years old now at least. I do like the new keyboard. No power button on it, but the delete-> key is worth it on the trade-off. ;)
Looks like life is going well in your corner of the world.
