I haven't read the links yet but I'm guessing it's talking about the old IBM model M keyboards. There is actually a company that baut the design from IBM and makes new keyboards with the same feel using the Buckling Spring technology. They also have keyboards with rubber dome technology for a more quiet sound but I'd want the loudest click I could get. They even have USB keyboards as well as PS2 models. http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/ I've known about them sense around 2004 or 2005 but still haven't baut a keyboard from them yet. I probably should *giggle*. If your looking for a 104 key keyboard so you can have the 3 windows keys you probably want the custimizer 104. http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/customizer.html If you don't want windows keys and would rather have the old IBM Pearl White look then you want the space saver model. http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/en104bl.html Although the space saver model visually looks like the original pearl white IBM Model M I'd probably get the custimizer 104 with the Buckling Spring technology even though it only comes in black so that I could have the windows keys if I needed them but would still have that IBM model M feel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Snow" <alex_snow@gmx.net> To: <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 3:04 PM Subject: Re: Keyboards - oh,the clickyness (was:Re: Anyone know what is happening in DebianLenny?) > 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. > On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at > 01:16:04PM -0500, Farhan wrote: >> 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. >> >> On 6/19/2008 at 13:14 luke said >> Speaking of keyboards, here are three amusing and good articles from >> Dan's >> Data, about a sighted guy and his pursuit of maximum clickyness. >> 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. >> >> http://www.dansdata.com/ibmkeyboard.htm >> http://www.dansdata.com/clickykeyboards.htm >> http://www.dansdata.com/clicky2.htm >> >> Luke >> >> >> On Tue, 17 Jun 2008, Farhan wrote: >> >> > hello, out of curiosity have you checked out the apple keyboards?

Hey, I don't know. I'm running unstable, and orca and gnome and all were running fine. But a couple of weeks ago there was a major upgrade and I basically lost my Xwindows completely. when I try to fix it, I get "broken packages". Haven't gotten real upset about it because (1) I use linux mostly in text console and do my gui stuff in Mac and windows; and (2) if you're going to run unstable you have to be prepared for just about anything!!!

Why: does control-z no longer work to suspend? How about the screen program to have virtual virtual consoles? As for a solution: edit your /etc/inittab file, and add more consoles.

I have 11 text terminals and 4 virtual desktops from console 7 within Gnome at my disposal. This keyboard only has 12 function keys. Gena ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread
