A better keyboard -- not just Spell Checkers and posts.

[WWG]

Even good spellers and typists have difficulty with the mushy, cheapo
keyboards furnished with modern computers, even the expensive ones. If you
want a good keyboard, go to your local computer surplus shop and buy an
older, genuine IBM keyboard. There is nothing on the market today that can
match it! If you can't find one and want one let me know. My surplus dealer
has a stack of them and I'll send you one for $15 plus shipping (weigh 6lbs
-- much heavier than the cheapos). Don't buy a new IBM keyboard, they are
now cheapos too. Check it out you'll do yourself a favor. Immediately your
fingers will find the keys just where they expect them to be and with a
nice firm and responsive touch.
