I’m writing a book about (typing) keyboards. What keyboards should I definitely mention? What questions would you like answered?

Northgate keyboards--the cult object of the 1980s. I still have mine carefully saved.

Ah! Could you tell me more? What did/do you like about it? What did you use it for?

I bought the Northgate system b/c of the keyboard--and the Stan Freberg ads. I wrote my first book with the Northgate Omnikey Keyboard.

Here's one in PC Mag April 10 1990. Go to pages 252-58. I had forgotten about Pournelle's endorsement. https://books.google.com/books?id=5kj9fdPQCzYC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false …

Ah, cool! I have never seen such a complicated Northgate ad.
