h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I miss those old clickity-clack keyboards that was the staple of IBM compatables in the 1980's.

Now, what do I mean by clickity-clack keyboards? Clickity-clack keabords are the ones that click when you press any key. It is not only a click you can hear, it is a click you can feel as well. For some one reason I can type about twice as fast on them.

Today you can only find tappity-tap keyboards. They are just far less aesthetically pleasing as a percussion instrument.

I figure if I have to get a repetitive motion injury, I should be able to enjoy getting it.
 

Join the free instant communication service ICQ. You can customise different sounds to most of its functions including clickety-clack typing. My computer is connected to my stereo so I can have CD quality clickity-clacks.

I have ICQ, and that typewriter sound is not (unfortunately) what I'm talking about here. Remember those old computer keyboard that clicked to lit you know that the computer recieved the input? I think those just feel nicer.

Alas I am a computer child of the 90s and missed the IBM clickety-clacks. But you must admit ICQ clickety-clacks really annoy people. Joy.

Yes... Because they sound more like a teletype than a clickity clack. My bro's gf uses that sound on occasion. Annoying is right.
