MS Internet Keyboard/Internet Keyboard Pro, ca. 1998?
« on: Mon, 10 August 2015, 18:41:28 »
A couple questions:

1. Can anyone tell me the OEM of these boards?

2. Back when they were new, I bought an Internet Keyboard. Absolutely loved it. Felt and sounded great, as far as rubber domes go, but it was PS/2-only, and I did not have a decent converter in those days. Never installed the intellitype software or used the extra buttons. When I found out the Internet Keyboard Pro offered native USB, I picked one of those up for use on my Mac. But it didn't feel or sound the same. It was a lot mushier and the sound was not satisfying, so out it went, and I no longer have either board. Does anyone who has used both happen to have a similar opinion of these two boards, or did I just run into variable quality of rubber dome boards?

I really liked the Compaq "internet keyboards" of the early 2000s.

Trump’s behavior is so bizarre, so unhinged, and so counter to his short-term interests that the most likely explanation for his actions is that Trump either believes or knows that he is mentioned in the Epstein files in ways that are even more damaging than the blowback he is getting for not releasing the files."

I definitely concur there.
