I know this is a religious issue and all, but I really can't stand the IIe
keyboard.  The Extended II sucks also; the best keyboard Apple made was the
original Extended.  For specifics, the IIe requires too much key travel and is
somewhat mushy, and the Extended II has Caps Lock and Ctrl switched around.
Apple IMHO could learn something from the recent Lexmark-made PC keyboards as
far as feel goes.
