<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">My first Unix machine was a
Solbourne SS2 clone and I have vivid memories of using it with a very
boxy Sun 16" CRT and type 4 keyboard/optical mouse. I'd love to have CRT
monitors for each of my systems (or any CRTs at all), however I am
limited by space. My machines are all connected to a KVM and LCD
monitors as two 21" Sonys would take up half of my office. The same goes
for keyboards. While I am less enamored with old keyboards than old
CRTs, it still would be fun to have a proper keyboard for each machine
type (at least HP, Sun, DEC), but I simply don't have the space for a
pile of keyboards. I never want to use a non-optical (camera) mouse
again. <br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div
