Since switching to notebook computers for my day-to-day production machine, I’ve become a fan of the docking station. Why? It’s because I like using my trusty IBM Model M Space Saver Keyboard from the 80s. It has superior feel to anything out there on the market, and I’ve tried everything I could get my hands on. As a bonus, there’s no Windows Key.

I periodically scour Ebay for them to make sure I never run out of them. Occassionally, PCKeyboard.com has a few. Then there’s this split ergo keyboard that I’ve never seen before with buckling spring technology…I must have it!

Lately I’ve been noticing a neck crick, so I think I need to raise the laptop up by about a foot. And like my buddy Bo Jordon, I have a high resolution LCD that gets kind of hard to read far away. So I’ve been eyeing one of those vertical laptop stands, such as the Oyster Ergodock. Would solve a lot of problems, though I would lose access to some docking features.
