Yuck.

I still havn't seen a better "Unix" (for want of a better term) than the 
72-key (or was it 92, I forget) model that NCD ships with some of their 
X-terminals.  Everything is perfect.  If these were available separately, 
and weren't too expensive, (and worked with PCs) then there's no contest.  
The key action was beautiful too.
