BTW: Are there any keyboards available, which offer the
same durability and 'touch' as the old PS2 keyboards? I
still reckon it was the best keyboard ever made.

I've got a black IBM keyboard that is a lot like the PS2
keyboard. I have used it for years with no problem except the
letters are starting to wear off the a and e keys. I got it at
a closeout at CompUSA about 5 years ago.

**I still have 2, almost new, PS2 keyboards. Trouble is, they don't have all
the fancy extra keys on the more modern ones.

Who the hell needs all those stupid keys? Get some keyboard accelerator
software and use the existing keys with shift/control/alt modifiers. Example
control/shift/O brings up opera for me. A hell of a lot easier than taking
my hands off the main keys to find the "web browser" key
