It's really dismal that this hasn't become standard on USB keyboards.
- flomo 13y agoThe extended AT layout one always seemed to be more beloved: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Apple_Extended_Keyboard http://deskthority.net/wiki/Apple_Extended_Keyboard Back then Macintoshes were advertised as "keyboard not included" so Apple got to soak you for a very well-engineered item.
- leoc 13y ago> The extended AT layout one always seemed to be more beloved Perhaps: M0115 vs. M0116 is probably the quintessential AT vs. compact layout conflict, though, so I'm sure there were plenty of supporters on either side. I also assume that the compact M0116 actually sold significantly more, as I've almost never seen an extended keyboard used with a non-modular Mac like the SE or Classic. The M0115 was consciously part of the Macintosh II revolution (or counter-revolution?): SJ was famously among the people who presumably preferred the M0116 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/841771 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/841771 .
