Characterless keys. Faster typing speeds. Exactly IBM's rationale for the, as I recall, widely loathed original PCjr. keyboard in the mid-'80s. Can saving files on audio cassette be far behind? (Well, yes, but it's an amusing thought.)
I loved TOS and the ST. It was so smooth and fast. Something must be said to the fact that the ST was the last computer I owned that I didn't feel compelled to have a hard drive for.
Actually, I even loved the ST's keyboard. I know the function keys had many detractors, but I loved typing on that keyboard; I especially remember liking the ( ) on the numeric keypad. *sigh*

There was no better computer than the ST. It was the last computer I've been truly happy with. It was fast (for the time) and just fun to mess with.
