I didn't realize just how important my original Apple Pro keyboard was until
I sold my G3 and had to begin using the USB atrocity. I spent what, $150 for
the Apple keyboard back in the last 80's because it was so similar to my
beloved Selectric typewriter keyboard. I talked my boss into ordering a
couple MTP keyboards and they came in Monday. They never got out onto the
shelves! I bought one, the head techie bought one and while we were playing
with them the owner came in and took the third! We've been raving about them
and now have orders for a dozen. I can't remember ever selling a keyboard at
the store before! A great keyboard
