<BR>> I must be the odd one here. I like to type on a quiet
keyboard. Can't stand<BR>> the incessant clickety-click while
typing. Worked with a guy who had one of<BR>> those. Needless to
say one day it died, and was I ever grateful that he<BR>> couldn't find
anymore like it!<BR>> <BR>> Why do you need a noisey KB to type
anyway? Is it to make sure that you know<BR>> you're hitting the
key? Why not just look at the monitor when typing instead of<BR>> your
fingers, makes better use of your time.<BR>> <BR>> For me, I prefer the
newer vintage IBM keyboards.... Gone are the days of being<BR>> in a
noisey computer room that masked the noise of the old keyboards.<BR>>

<BR>> <BR>> Nope - you're not the only one - though I prefer something
somewhere in<BR>> the middle - but then I started out typing on IRC and as a
secretary - and<BR>> I can type faster one a quieter keyboard - and allow the
tactile<BR>> impression give me the sastifaction that the clickety-clack USED
to<BR>> provide me with when I was learning to type. (It was so cool to hear
the<BR>> clickety-clacks get faster and faster - but the noise is more
distracting<BR>> now *chuckle*).<BR>> <BR>> Liz<BR>> <BR>> On

<BR>> I think it's not more of the noise, but the feel, the noisy
keyboards<BR>> genearly have a better feel, of something actualy hapening
when you type..<BR>> plus some of us have to look at a 2nd source of
information when they<BR>> type, and can't look at the screen to see what
they just typed.. it's the<BR>> full feedback thing.. plus, from what I've
seen, most of the soft-key<BR>> keypads can be sticky, just low-quality
crap.. makes it hard to type on.<BR>> at work I have an old IBM AT thing,
with the removeable keycaps, I pop all<BR>> the caps off, and dishwasher them
everyonce in a while.. I don't<BR>> dishwasher the whole keyboard
tho..<BR>> <BR>> Thank You,<BR>>

<BR>> down at the po we just sprayed some 409 and held it upside down, so
