Does anyone know of any advantages for a third party keyboard for the SE30? -- Bill Moser - via FidoNet node 1:125/777 UUCP: ...!sun!hoptoad!fidogate!161!444!Bill.Moser INTERNET: Bill.Moser@f444.n161.z1.FIDONET.ORG

Yes. You don't have to buy APPLE. But seriously, prior to the recent announcement of a 1 year warranty (way to go, APPLE!), I recommended third party everything, excepting the CPU. Now, with a decent warranty, I am not quite so pissed off at Apple. But, I do really like the DataDesk 101 keyboard. This is the one that Jerry Pournelle puts in the shower when he spills a drink on it, and it still works! I dont do that, but then I have been lucky so far and have not spilled anything on it! I use Apple and my DataDesk keyboards interchangeble all day long, and while they are very different in key response, I have trouble saying I like one over the other. Well, I like the feel of the DataDesk, but I like the silence of the Apple. But, the very thing that gives the DataDesk its great feel is the thing that makes it noisy. Oh well. DataDesk gives great service. Apple sucks. One time when I upgraded from some machine to another, or maybe it was operating systems, the thing stopped working right. They sent, free, a new IC to put in. BINGO! It worked. Same for software fixes. Gotta go, but love that DataDesk 101! -- Randy Shaw - via FidoNet node 1:125/777 UUCP: ...!sun!hoptoad!fidogate!161!555!Randy.Shaw INTERNET: Randy.Shaw@f555.n161.z1.FIDONET.ORG
