Waiting for the moment when I share my cool 40% and someone pops up out of nowhere and is like "a full alphabet? You are like a little baby to me."

Those new-fangled QWERTY keyboards remind me of a proper keyboard (literally so) I saw at the Science Museum in London some years ago. A 'Hughes printing telegraph', apparently - from 1860!

A wider view of that old piano-style keyboard with keys marked with letters, numbers and punctuation symbols in a polished wooden desk, with bits of mechanical gadgetry visible above, and a heavy wight hanging from a pulley below the desk.
