Nah, he rolls over to zero and has to start over with just a $5 El Crappo rubber dome keyboard.

I'll wait for the gold watch like XsPhat's. :)  Actually, there are a few boards I have been on for years, an still don't have 500 posts (e.g. I've been on Ars Technica's boards since mid '06, and I only have 125 posts).

The El Crappo 'board?  Can I at least use an old MS or something?

I like this review:

    Pros: Types characters
    Cons: Cuts my fingers many many times. Certain keys stopped working once parts of the keyboard became soaking in my blood.


A few months ago my wife bought a 24" iMac and instantly hated the keyboard, so, long story short, we went looking for a usb keyboard at 1 am.  We ended up at an all-night Kroger grocery store, where she found a $10 Kensington board.  Took it home, plugged it in, and it really wasn't that bad.  It even kinda clicked.

She eventually got a ps2-usb connector and went back to her old Gateway board.  I have offered her Model Ms, AT101s, even my white Alps DSI board, but she just wants her Gateway board.

I don't blame her. When I started to have problems with my rubber dome Trust I wanted to replace it with the same model because it was what I was used to.
