Keywords: NeXT keyboard small Message-ID: <4410@phoenix.Princeton.EDU> Date: 13 Nov 88 01:26:04 GMT Organization: Princeton University, NJ Lines: 20 Recently, I had a chance to play with a NeXT's components after a demo that was given at my school for us Comp. Dept. employees...I had the folllowing gripe: The keyboard, while extremely sexy (nice feel :-)) and snazzy in black, is just about the size of the regular Mac keyboard, AND has the cables stuck in the middle of the back...meaning any kind of stress tends to pull them out. Also, I found that if you are one of the lazy like me, and want to put the keyboard in your lap, say, it is simply too dratted small, and uncomfortable to work with if it is not on a perfectly flat surface like a table. It is thin (in terms of space bar to number row) and it will spend much of its time tilted if you put it in your lap. Any comments from those out there? I don't think I'd want to buy one. But I'd love one as a gift. :-) (Yo, Steve?...) -JBZimmerman! -- ___________ | "A flute with no holes is not a flute.
