The solid IBM ps/2's and the Keytronics have been mentioned, but no Fijitsu 4725.
It has a little bit of a stiffer feedback then the Keytronic, slame slant as both the IBM and the Keytronic, and the keys are spaced out extremely well. It's solid and durable although you can't put it trough a dishwasher like the IBM ps/2's.
It's essentially a pure keyboard with the exception of two small windows keys and a window option key between alt and ctrl.
I've used serveral IBM style M's and varied older style Keytronic's and the 4725's since '97.
All nice solid keyboards but personally the 4725 has the right balance in feedback between the two (no heavy clunk or too light typing action)
At $65 cdn (~45 usd?) it's not a bad choice for a solid / reliable keyboard.
I would imagine that this would give them an accurate figure on Mac / Win32 / Linux sales figures. Not bad data to have if you want to consider making releases of your games to operating systems other then Win32.
If there is not enough interest in a particular platform, it's not a financially viable solution.
Ontop of this you can lookup the login server(s) ip's and deny connections to those hosts as well just as a sanity check.

free or almost free things worth seeing --- The Grouse Grind A 2.9-kilometre (3700 ft) trail straight up to the top of Grouse Mountain. And when we say straight up . . . we mean it. When you do the "Grind" it is recommended that you wear hiking boots and carry water. For those in good shape it takes about an hour. An average time would be between one and a half to two hours. The world record for doing the "Grind" is under 27 minutes. It is free to hike up, but it's not wise (or advised) for you to hike back down so you'll need $5.00 to pay for the gondola ride to the bottom. Call 604.984.0661 or the Grouse Grind information line at 604.451.6107.
Vancouver: An Architectural Tour From rough-and-tumble mill town to the grandiose terminal city of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Vancouver miraculously grew from a population of 500 to 6,000 in five short years!
