Title: What is the reason why...
Post by: Staga on June 23, 2002, 11:20:03 AM

...old hardware are sometimes better than new?

Earlier today I somehow broke my Keytronic keyboard. I thought "Great; it's sunday so all shops are closed :/"
Then I did remember I have an old IBM kb somewhere. After one hour searching I found it and plugged it in.
Dam thing is atleast 10 years old and is still working.. well... better than some new keyboards. And this one sounds like a real kb too, nice clicking sounds when typing with it :)

hmm I can't find those windows keys from this one thought I never used them anyway :D

ps: anyone wanna buy old IBM CD-reader, external 2x with SCSI connectors. Thing is bigger and heavier than my laptop and works like a charm :)

Edit: I'm not sure if it can read CD-R/RW's....
