Couldn't agree more about the Model M (I have three original ones) or 
the awfulness of Apple's keyboards (from the company that brought you 
the urinal puck mouse, and it shows). The Ms are very noisy, however, 
which can be a problem in an office environment. Cherry do a keyboard 
intended for bulk data entry which manages to have a decent key action 
and long life while still using silent rubber domes. About £45 last time 
I looked, but very well worth it IMO.
