| Can anybody recommend an IBM PC compatible kid proof keyboard.

RCA used to make a membrane keyboard for hostile environment use. I know
mine was literally "dishwasher safe," having gotten it covered with a
mixture of peanutbutter, jelly, and soda. I just run it through on
"gentle" and no dry cycle, wiped it off with a towel, and it ran.

I don't know if they're still making any keyboards of this type, or with
PC layouts, but it seems worth checking.

Disclamer: RCA and I both work for GE, but I say what I think anyway.
