Funny. Just checking the Shreve Systems catalog I see the GS keyboard for
$99, or a Macintosh extended keyboard for $99. You figure it out...
I am using a Classic II keyboard, and it sucks. I think the people who
designed this keyboardformerly worked at NBC (the guys who designed the
"Red/White/Blue " channels for the Olympics). This thing is just a dumb
idea. The <ESC> key is between the space bar and the keft arrow key
and the tilde is where the <ESC> is is supposed to be. I'm always trying
to get into the COntrol Panel with ctrl-openapple-~
