Can’t remember the last time I saw a keyboard with that, plus num lock and scroll lock. Turning your number pad on the side into a directional pad with scroll keys was quite interesting.
Not to mention the insert key without a state indicator, which these days would confuse the hell out of anyone who hits the key accidentally and didn’t understand why they were typing over everything.
There’s an incredible amount of computer history covering such small details. I love looking back and seeing how things have changed, besides the obvious things like storage media.
In fact, I bought parts for a new rig the other day and it blew my mind when the SSD I bought was a single chip I slotted in. It’s 500gig but the size changes your perception of it. The last time I did this I was hooking 2.5” SSDs through SATA and using a 3.5” HDD secondary with those crazy SCSI cables. Now it just slots in like a RAM chip.
PC building UX has changed a lot.
