Title: Is this a picture of an Amiga in a BBC news article about Microsoft? Or am I seeing things?!!

Hi,

Just been reading a news article here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3454289.stm) on the BBC News website about Microsoft's security patch for 'phishing'. But it's a picture of an Amiga isn't it?  :-o

Maybe I'm just seeing things, or maybe the BBC need to update their library of stock pictures!

Steve.

No. Its a standard PC-AT keyboard (before they added windows keys).

Doh! It was the two different colours of keys that made me think it was an Amiga keyboard, but having just compared it to pictures on Amiga-Hardware (I'm at work and my memory's not that good!), I can see that the spacing of the keys around the spacebar is wrong for it to be an Amiga.

Sorry folks!

Steve.
