I don't think my keyboard is older than the kids on the team; I switched from DIN to PS/2 connectors a few computers back, though I still have some DIN keyboards in a file cabinet. (I do not have any single density 5.25" floppies still in the shrink wrap, though I may have a few used ones that went to that Apple ][+ clone that had 35 rather than 40 cylinders.) After learning to type in the late '70's (I suspected that these computer machines might become more common), flat panels, even with motors that go "thunk" are not a suitable substitute for springs and mechanical switches.
