took my *antique* IBM keyboard to work

I really got tired of having to switch my brain and fingers from German to US keyboard layout twice a day. Plus I think, I'll be spending a few more years at Indiana Tech - so it's OK to personalize my tools.

So today I took an old IBM PS/2 keyboard, manufactured in 1994, with 102 keys, German layout, and that familiar *click* to work. All I needed was a PS/2 to USB adapter, and some fiddling with the regional and language settings on my Dell computer.

Works like a charm! medium_IBM_keys.jpg
