It seems even computer hardware is subject to retro revivals.
The EEE keyboard has the look of the basta...er twisted offspring of an Amstrad CPC6128 and a calculator (some would say a Macbook pro keyboard, but since Asus makes those, I had think of something else).

The question now becomes, will some innovative soul combine a proper keyboard (with microswitches) and some semi-decent HW. I'd like to see the outcome there.
