Dear Apple

A one-man crusade against bad design in Apple Products

Minimal Mac: Twenty Years, One Keyboard – Guest Post by Dave Caolo

Finally, I love this keyboard’s longevity. It’s nearly 20 years old and working flawlessly. Once a year I take it apart and give it a good cleaning, and that’s the only maintenance it’s ever required. When reassembled it looks great and is ready for duty. In fact, the keyboard on my MacBook Pro has lost keys while the Extended Keyboard works as it did the day I unboxed it. Also, the Griffin iMate I use for ADB to USB connectivity years ago still works, and Mac OS X (so far at least) is happy to let me use it.

Gotta say that I’m happy with new Alu Apple Keyboards also, the wireless one was the best money spent. Wonderful example of mechanical quality.

Dear Apple, don’t loose it.
