Oh Yesss
Having just tried the kbs on her 'New' {egregious funquey Plastique} HP and the older one - then pressing the G-4's..
saw that owner also spotted same - said something like ~"gee, it feels like a Real keyboard!"
Must be some exquisitely tuned small springs inside, to accomplish the gradual spring-rate increase and then solid toggle-over, so you Know it's a full keypress. Reminds me of a miniature of my Original IBM, sans the clickey-clack, and with shorter travel. Wonder if an Apple kb could transplant... ascii matrices standard these days?
{sob} gotta Stop. This.

I meant "Knowledge base"
But you're still right.
Apple laptop keyboards are quite, quite lovely.

Oh stop it
You're going to get Barry going on his IBM type M keyboards with the metal base and the clicky sound that he got for $2 at a flea market, and I just don't feel like hearing about that again.

Not for me they're not
The laptop keyboard on an Apple (there is only one, no models exist with an alternative) is exactly why I did not buy an Apple laptop.
I need a full-sized keyboard.

I'm a touch typist.
My fingers know where the key is supposed to be, and I get pissed off if a different key is there.
Besides I do have large hands.
But anyways, even if you think that the fault lies with me for having an unusual requirement, you won't change my opinion that Apple's "one size fits all" philosophy is the real problem here.

Ben
