<tt> When the IBM PC came out in late 1979 (which <br>
cost something like $3K for the bare-bones, 8K <br>
RAM model), some people were surprised that it <br>
didn't use the well-designed Selectric keyboard <br>
from the IBM typewriter. <br>
I was until smart people explained that IBM <br>
did not want to risk that the PC would eat into <br>
their profitable typewriter sales. <br>
Turns out that today we can buy Selectric <br>
style keyboards for our computers; prices range <br>
from about $50 to over $650. <br>
