Hey, I picked up a genuine Made-in-the-USA Model "M" for $2.14 just
a couple of days ago. I think it is the older version of what they're
selling at pckeyboard.com. 

Oh, I'm perfectly happy with the Type 3. The Type 4 is good as well.
I've always hated the layout of the Type 5, and anything past that
just feels like a piece of junk. I hate keyboards that feel like I
can break them with just a twist of my hands. (Don't get me wrong,
I do like having a keyboard if the keyboard was free.)

I just wish I didn't need to clean my Type 4 so often. Is there a
good way to clean the board inside a Type 4? I generally use a damp
cloth which seems to work OK for a little while.

BTW, anyone besides me notice the font on the keys of the 3 matches
the console font? Ok, I thought it was neat. 

I need to start collecting Sun keyboards while they're still around.
I have a large pile of keyboards and only a couple of Sun keyboards.
That's just wrong. 

(Oh, and if we're discussing heresy, would it be bad if I mentioned
that I still like the DEC lk401-style keyboards?)
