Your indeed; my former English teacher would have been pissed at the error. Insouciance is a word we never had, so thanks for teaching me a new one.

See this board[^]? I have one of these. It's an expansion board for and against everything. I/O ports, cassette interfaces, EPROM sockets, two S100 bus slots and 4k SRAM. The RAMs used to get warm when the computer was running and were a perfect cat toaster. Forget CRTs.

Your view is too narrow. Suppose I programmatically blank (perhaps to black) my screen. Does it now have nothing on it if that's what I put on it? What should it do, then, aside from a recursive death spiral?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I would recommend my old Elf's keyboard[^]. Steel case, real key switches and lasts at least 42 years long.
But parallel keyboards of that sort don't grow on trees these days and I will need something more modern when I build 'Zwölf', Elf's younger brother. Just yesterday I was asking dumb questions about interfacing USB ports to an 8 bit computer, guess why.
But there is another way to get exactly the keyboard that you want and that lasts forever.
Tear out the encoder and the cable from an old keyboard. Then buy about a pound of cherry keyswitches[^]. Then design and 3D print keycaps and a case for the keyboard[^]. Layout, spacing and finish are entirely up to you.
You will not need a circuit board. The keyswitches snap into square holes in the case, but you will have to wire up the switches in columns and rows on the underside and then also connect the encoder you have salvaged from an old keyboard.
I might have to do a little more, like programming a PIC microcontroller with a suitable interface as keyboard encoder, but that's worth it. That keyboard can last another 42 years.

Good idea, switches are cheap enough.

Was de-bounce technology common in those days, or was that offered as an upgrade?

Very common. In hardware, not in software as it is done now. Tantalum capacitors, to be precise.
