Okay, I'll cross that one off the option list. I like good crisp
tactile feed back, but quiet. Consequently I love/hate IBM
keyboards. Being in a computer lab full of them is like being in
a shack with a tin roof in a hailstorm! I really liked Hewlett
Packard keyboards that were made around 1990 (I don't know if
they still make them the same).

Lexmark used to make a pretty nifty folding keyboard for a few
hundred dollars, but apparently its been discontinued. :-(
