IBM made those keyboards to last!

Dang tooting. My blind-housemate had one. Loved the thing.

It's the perfect keyboard if you're blind since you get auditory and tactile
feedback that you've actually pressed a key (with near certainty that the PC
actually recognized it). My Commodore 64 was like most modern keyboards
(mushy feel) and it was so unreliable that you never really could tell if
the computer knew you hit the key or not.

I've still got a couple of their, slightly newer but still very "clicky",
keyboards. They're still far heavier than today's cheap plastic keyboards.
Unfortunately, they don't have the "windows" key on them, so I don't use
them anymore. :-(
