It's nice though because on the easy payment plan you can pay a low $84 per month for 24 months.

Even if you got that, you'd probably need an IBM 5250 terminal to connect it to. See Here. The photo shows what looks like the connector in the background, and that's not even an AT style connector.

I'm glad you pointed that out before I ordered.

The first keyboards I used had 25 pin RS-232 connectors, and plugged into the screen. The screen was a character oriented one, 25 by 80 char, monchrome green (nice for Jenkins!), with is own 25 pin RS-232 to the computer. No, it was not a PC.

So $2000 for an IBM keyboard.
That's about a 50% discount from what IBM used to charge for them in the 70's isn't it?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Ah yes Bethoven's 5th, that was a good movement.
Can't remember was that a Minor or Major movement?

That's the one that starts off with "DUMP DUMP DUMP DUMP" isn't it?

I quite fancy one of these[^], but it's been God-only-knows how long since I've needed a new keyboard.

I'm still clinging to my first HP keyboard from '98. I've had this keyboard for my entire 20+ year career. Lately, I've got a few keys that have started sticking...time for a bi-annual deep cleaning...maybe I can get a few more years out of it!

The seller has only one other product[^], which is just as much of a bargain, but it's a shame because I was hoping to get a second-hand Amstrad keyboard for under 5k.

I used one of those... About 30 years ago, when I was programming in PL/1 on an IBM mainframe using the ISPF environment. I was developing a CCITT Group 3 image decompressor - strange how some things stick in your head...
And after that, I started using VAX/VMS - and DEC had good keyboards as well... It wasn't until I started using PCs in the late 90s that keyboard quality was something that I noticed - because they all had dreadful dome switch keyboards... I use my Filco Majestouch (brown Cherry MX switches) exclusively now...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p
