I got my keyboard for $2 in a thrift store: original IBM buckling spring
model (THE clickety-clack keyboard). I got the cable for $8 at Fry's. If
there is a thrift/junk store nearby, check it out. For those in the SF
Bay Area, visit WeirdStuff in Sunnyvale. They have a site
www.weirdstuff.com that describes them, but have no online sales (yet).
