I am using a type 6... I find that acceptable, just.  The thing that
does cause flame wars is the location of the caps-lock.  Myself, I
prefer the caps lock to be next to the A key (i.e. the PC style
keyboard) rather some little after thought tucked in one corner like
it is on the type 4 and the other Sun "unix" style keyboards.
It is not worth responding to this... you will not change me ;-)

Which probably oxides the contacts in short order so you are back to
the start again.  Try getting some electrical contact cleaner and
using that to wipe over the contacts, that normally has stuff in it to
try and prevent oxidation.
