      @Giles:

      feck, feck, feck.  I have no idea I needed one of them until now…..

      Take a look at The Keyboard Company @Giles.

      http://www.keyboardco.com/

      If you want to get really geeky then there are different types of switches. I've got one with the Cherry Blues, which are like the old school IBM keyboards.

      And if you want an old IBM model, the Keyboard Company carries them.

        I'd be going http://www.daskeyboard.com/daskeyboard-4-professional-for-mac/ in Cherry Brown  (less clickly, same feeling). Still like IBM feeling, and keeps the sanity of those around you :). I use brown @ work and blue @ home. Mrs Snowy wishes I'd bring the brown home 😛

          I've got a BluetoothMajestouch Minila keyboard. I don't use number pads, so prefer a more compact design.

                @tmg there's also a very nice wooden wrist rest for the Minila. Not that I'm trying to push you over the edge, or anything…

                  How can you run a business so incompetently, that one week you're running employees into the ground at 70+ hours a week and the next not have enough orders to produce a 40 hour week? I understand a port strike has had adverse consequences on business, but you can't honestly expect to keep people like this. Glad I'm already looking elsewhere

                    Right now I am writing the most boring "dissertation" ever. The subject is quality control (EN ISO 9000 ff for example), due Friday.

                                Our system run amuck @jdl1279.  People are the least of their concerns.

                                    And laid off…arrrgggghhh!!! At least I now know it to be a port strike as the culprit. Seems we haven't been getting some of the materials required for production and management chose not to say anything down line. I wanted to find something else anyway, but not how I would've liked it to go down

                                        Yeah, been looking and have one in particular I'm hoping for. Unfortunate enough it doesn't pick up for a couple weeks, if I get it. I hated where I was, but it paid the bills at least. There seems to be an abundance of good spots available right now, so all likely for the better.
