How much older is older?
I'm 46 years old, been programming a computer since I was 10 (TRS-80 Color Computer 2 - with the "melted" keyboard - not exactly ergo), and I currently use a classic Model M (not a Unicomp - a real one made by Lexmark, that inexplicably has the flow-thru option on it for some reason - bit of a unicorn from what I gather).
I've used keyboards in my career of all types, including ones on a VT-100, VT-220, and WYSE-320, 370, and 380...
I have never had any RSI issues. Not saying it can't happen, but one would think something would've happened by now...
- drivers99 7y agoWhat is flow-thru option? Google just brings me back to this thread. Wikipedia mentions "drainage holes to deter damage from spilled drinks" in the options. Is that what you're talking about?
- postalrat 7y agoNot everyone gets it. I haven't. But I guess you never know and might be best to try avoiding it.

- stunt 7y agoNot everybody dies because of smoking! But, it is proven to increase the risk significantly.
