[Gllug] Keyboards

[Peter Childs]

	Keyboards are cheap but probably one of the most important parts 
of a computer. 
	So does anyone hold a high view of there keyboard. (Or know of 
any useless ones to avoid)
	From what I can see they range in cost £2.87 to £118.00 
	I'm currently using quite a nice Dell one we got with a 
computer.... 
	Can we get away with the £2.87 sort or should we try somthing 
better.
	What we need.

- High Use (one is going to be used 24x7x465 at between 4+ keystokes per
minute all the time. and while it can be replaced we would like to avoid
doing it too often. 

- Typest so it needs to feel good and be usable by a trained typest. (I
don't think they like the soft keys you get on some keyboards.

- Dirt. My keyboard is already covered in sweet and dirt so it
must and least try to keep clean. (At least one will need to cope with hmm
Oiley, Greesy, Wet hands) 

- Linux (why else am I asking here) so we don't need all the extra keys 
although I'm sure we can get them to do somthing!

- Compatable we do have one or two older Din Type only computers and not
all ps2 keyboards like the converters too much.

	We currently use special keyboards for Bull DPS6 terminals and 
these are mostly still going strong after 9 years but for 1 tenner 
I guess replacement should not be an issue.

	Your Ideas Please
