Hi,

I'm sure at least they will have lasted longer thant any modern computer.
I know what I mean, I'm currently seeking an IDE drive for my crashed laptop that cost 1500 euros.Guess its age ? seven years only.
I expect that emulation will provide us in pleasure of using our old system.
What concerns me is that I'd love to continue to use my "keyboard". What I like in retro computers is the unique feeling they give you compared to these untasty modern design.
One of my dream, is that all old keyboards of our beloved computers (of all brands) will  be released one day as an alternative to those current slim planks.

@som99.

Thanks, I was thinking about buying one of these mechanical keyboards. Even if I prefer the real M look, I can cope with a little of modernity.
Do these blue switchs give you a real M keyboard feeling ? Because I tried some new mechanical keyboard, especially for gamers, and I was greatly disappointed. Maybe the switch doesn't do everything !
I consider it important to work on a good keyboard. As being an intensive computer user it's vital. Such a shame, I can't find an azerty Unicomp keyboard in my country. And too bad, all the ancient keyboards of our aged computer models can't be found today. Vintage is the trend. So what are they waiting for ? In fact, I even thought that it could be a good idea to launch a factory producing old keyboards of every vintage brands (commodore, amstrad, sinclair, ...)
I'll have a look at your recommendation.
