uliwitness, 6 months ago TIL that the original IBM PC keyboard had a pencil tray along the top where today's full-size keyboards have the F-Keys. (The F-Keys were at the left of the keyboard, vertical) #retroComputing

mkj, 6 months ago @uliwitness You don't need to go that far back even. For example, see this 1995 keyboard model which evolved from that Model F. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IBM_Model_M_1391403_keyboard.jpg (Yes, that was before Microsoft trademark branded keys became widespread.) #keyboard #ClickyKeyboard #ModelF #ModelM #retrocomputing
