LOL. This is too funny. Long story, short version. We moved into this
house in 1998. Since then I have periodically asked my wife: "Are you
sure there isn't a keyboard in your office closet?" Substantive denials
followed for the ensuing years. I last asked about it in March of this
year.
Well. She just retired and started getting "the cleaning bug." So, she
emptied out the closet in her office (finally!). And I am now typing on
a lovely IBM PC keyboard. One of those metal-framed, heavy-duty brutes
that sounds like a machine gun when I get to touch-typing on it.
