[comp.sys.next] Old Style Keyboards

melling@cs.psu.edu (Michael D Mellinger) (06/05/91)

Has the cry been loud enough for NeXT to sell the old keyboards as an
option?  The first thing that a new NeXT user noticed today in our lab
is that the new keyboards really stink.  I guess I can tell him how to
remap the keyboard, but when you consider spending $3300 on a
computer, the little things bother you.

BTW, are the color stations shipping in quantity?  We have two on
order for our lab and we haven't received them yet.  The operator said
that they were ordered 4 months ago.

I agree with your opinion. Also it has been addressed in many articles,
BYTE, Unix World, Mac World. I hope someone in NeXT needs to do something
for this "WORLD" class opinion! ;-{
