[net.micro] mac detachable keyboard does it right

Great, the cable comes out of the front - and it even uses standard 4-wire
modular jack connectors.  Now, if they had only remembered to put the rest
of the keys on the keyboard.  Try looking for 'ESC', 'BREAK' or 'DEL'.  If
MacTerm works like LisaTerm, you'll at least be able to get at ESC and DEL
by using CTRL-[ and CTRL-Backspace respectively.  Probably BREAK will be
possible too, but try to get used to using CTRL-[ in VI instead of ESC.

(P.S. - Oops, I forgot, there is no Control Key, you have to use the

With all the flaming about keyboards I've seen, I'm surprised no one
has mentioned that Apple did the right thing and put their keyboard
cable connector in the front of the machine instead of the back.

Anyone ever seen a VT100 (rhetorical question)?
