- Well I've got my extended keyboard exclusively connected to my GS, as for
- my Mac, well it sits right about 5mm from my GS. I must admit, I rarely
- power up my Classic. The major use for my Mac now is to transfer DOS
- files and rescaleing GIFs to fit on my GS. As for a cheap solution of the
- keyboard problem, I bought a $25.00 keyboard drawer and mounted it under
- my desk. This way I can have two keyboards without taking up more desk
- top space.
