I plan to buy an LC this summer, and rather than pay for an Apple extended keyboard, I have had the Northgate extended keyboard recommended. Has anyone had any experience with Northgate--esp. with the extended keyboard? Positive and negative comments are welcome. Also, any info on where to find Northgate stuff would help. Thanks. Email or post, whichever you think is best. --Danny Breidenbach dbreiden@mentor.cc.purdue.edu

Northgate makes a wonderful keyboard. But only for PC-AT type machines. They were not prepared to service the Mac community, and they withdrew their Mac OminKey Plus keyboard from the market within weeks of shipping the first units. Rumor has it that they could not get it to work right, and they weren't interested in spending the additional R&D money. -john- -- ============================================================================= John A.
