- dlcarrier 2y agoI not only understand, but whole-heartedly agree with, the whole if-it-aint-broke-don't-fix-it mentality, but those keyboard are atrocious.
- onetokeoverthe 2y agoif it aint broke get a new one. is "capitalism".
- fuzzfactor 2y agoFor touch-typists having decades of experience at the time, most of whom had quite long fingernails too, they could only laugh at some keyboards today that cost more than the C64.
- snvzz 2y agoYou think? Notably, at the time, Commodore 64's keyboard was actually seen as a strength against the competition.
- gregjor 2y agoI had a 1983 Osborne Executive “luggable” computer gathering dust in my garage about ten years ago. It worked but I had no use for it. I put it on eBay and Craigslist expecting a collector to buy it. Instead a guy in my city bought it. He ran a construction company and used an old Osborne to run part of the business, wanted a spare just in case.
