That's interesting.  I've had 4 Dell PCs now and have never had
problems with any of them.  Must be lucky I guess.

There is a company that is still making the buckling spring technology
keyboards. In fact, they bought all the tooling from IBM for this
technology - http://www.pckeyboard.com.

I've got an IBM Model M 84 Key Space Saving keyboard. I wouldn't trade
it for anything. They go for $90.00 USED!

Smart move on their part.  Those keyboards will never go out of style.

You people are not nice. You *know* I am going to have to get one of these
things now, just when I got used to having a "Calculator" button. Smiley
