The Null Device
2003/9/22
If those IBM-style tactile keyboards aren't solid and mechanical enough for you, you could always try converting a mechanical typewriter into a PC keyboard. Then all you'd need would be a small black and white monitor with a Fresnel-lens magnifier in front of it, and you'd have retrocomputing à la Brazil. (via VM)
(I wonder whether it would be possible to fit a Mini-ITX-based computer inside a working mechanical-typewriter-based keyboard. That would be pretty doovy...)
