Default Old style keyboards ? ? ?

Does any company still sell keyboards that dont have the windows keys?
I hate those extra keys. I never use them, and because the ctrl and


me too!

alt keys are smaller I keep hitting those useless things. I had
several old keyboards and have used them until now. This is my last
one and it's dying with a dead down-arrow key. I'd much prefer to get


are you sure it is dead? It might just need som cleaning. take
everything apart and clean in water, it takes some time but you get
clean keys as a bonus!

(if there is actually something broken, you could perhaps create
one keyboard out of two by stealing keycaps or rubberbumps from another
one, and it is possible to tape new lines on the plastic sheets if
they are dead because of too much corrodic coffeČ)

a NEW keyboard since the old ones are usually pretty well worn. Does
anyone know of a source that still sells them? (Not Ebay, please).

By the way, what do Macintosh keyboards have in place of those things
or dont they have them at all? I'd imagine a Mac keyboard wont plug
into a PC.


I think they have apple-symbols and "sight worth seeing"-sign symbols
on their keys down there. I think it was to be as same-as-apple
as possible that microsoft "invented" the windows-keys...
