I still want to find a Focus 2001 keyboard. I miss the clicky but
non-effort keyboards from the '90s. I think they were ALPS key switches
back then. They have the old AT connector, so I'd need to figure some
way to get to USB.

I did some googling around and found this, in black with USB!

I did all of my BBSing in the 90s with one of these or a Model M.

I started splurging on keyboards, monitors and mice at work - those are
relatively cheap and they're what people's impressions of PCs are mostly
based on. Although, I haven't seen a desktop PC in any of my company's
offices... All laptops.
