Pixie dust time

I bought a couple of the "Virtually Indestructible" keyboards for the shop
and they are great. The guys get them dirty, but that's about it.

Also, in the past, I have bought el-cheapo's on sale at Microcenter,
CompUSA, etc. (some even free after rebate) and used them up.

Ok, god help me ... my PC's have gotten SO old that I'm running short of
viable keyboards.

Anyone have a recommendation on after market keyboards that will stand up
to
a user group that likes to use sledge hammers for depressing keys?

FYI - The Pixie Dust Time reference has to do with keeping pc's running
way
beyond their normal time span ... P-133 is still a hot machine ... right
?

While we're on the subject ... do you know where I can find some new rubber
bands? On my current budget I can probably afford them ...

I'm still have (7) 486's @ 66Mhz & 50Mhz running in the shop so a P-133
