Based on the pictures that DJ posted later, it looks like his keyboard<br>
is the same IBM model M that I have, and I sure as heck didn't "care-<br>
fully source" a Super key-less keyboard. As far as I know, the Windows/<br>
Super key hadn't been invented when my keyboard was manufactured back in<br>
1996. (If it had been invented, it certainly wasn't ubiquitous.)<br>

Okay, okay, if you're still using one, you get a pass. But come on,<br>
understand that about 99% of existing PC keyboards have a<br>
Super/System/Windows/Whatever key, and it seems kind of a waste of<br>
effort to hack up the video just to acknowledge those of us who still<br>
have prehistoric keyboards. I mean, can we agree it's a bit nitpicky?<br>

I too use a heavy, ancient IBM keyboard, but only for lack of adequate quantity of better. My (3) primaries also were acquired last century. I'd love to have extra keys if I could find any affordable models made for touch typing, with:<br>
<br>
CAPSLOCK in typewriter location beside spacebar (via option or otherwise)<br>
traditional inverted T cursor pad,<br>
large "L" enter/return key,<br>
oversized backspace key, AND<br>
all function keys usable by touch in conjunction with any or all "shift" keys using a single, non-giant hand<br>
<br>
like these:<br>
