I'll take the Hazeltine Esprit III keyboard any old time.  Mine is
circa 1981, I have had three or four accompanying monitors shot out
from under it in that time, but whenever the repairman comes I save the
keyboard and swap for the new one he brings.  (I have my favorite F-key
settings on stickers on the bridge and I don't want to have to make up
new ones.  Besides, since this one is apparently going to last forever,
why roll the dice again?)  As the years go by, other people in my
(growing) firm bring in all the "fad" CRTs but I just stick with Ol'
Reliable.

btw as far as PC keyboards go I am happy with the Keytronics 5150, it
is just a tad light compared to the Hazeltube's but not too much and it
is COMPLETELY cleanable, a big plus.
