Re: ot- buying a new name brand pc with xp - KEYBOARDS

[Bill Troop billtroop@xxxxxxxx]

Manuel, Unicomp is the former IBM/Lexmark keyboard division. They
make everything exactly as they used to. The keyboards are fabulous!
These are the real thing, never duplicated, the best. There is no way
you can type more comfortably or more quickly, but, in addition to
the considerable tactile feedback, there is audible feedback at a
somewhat greater level than we are used to nowadays. (The only
missing link is the Lexmark Ergonomic Keyboard. Maybe Goldtouch has
the successor? There's some complicated story attached to this
keyboard.) (Interestingly, the Ergo model requires slightly greater
pressure even than the traditional IBM/Lex/Unicomp design. The reason
is that testing revealed this resulted in less hand stress.)
