[Coco] Is it me, or are chiclet keyboards coming back?

[Bruce W. Calkins]

I bought a surplus keyboard, desoldered and pulled the circuit board off and 
rewired it for my CoCo 1.  My typing speed improved considerably.  I did it 
all over when I wore that one out.  That second one is still on my first 
CoCo.
