From: Thomas S. Wanuga <WANUGA@MIT-XX> Does anyone know why IBM put such a stupid keyboard on the PCjr. I have only seen a picture of the keyboard, and have not actually used it. Has anyone out there had a chance to try out the keyboard? Are those crazy "chicklet" keys necessary for the infrared transmission? An article in the NY Times seemed to imply that it was a marketing decision to get people who wanted to do a lot of typing (eg. word processing) to buy a PC instead. Tom Wanuga -------
