Those big surfboard keyboards are quickly going the way of beige boxes. A recent product addition at All Electronics Corporation features a flexible keyboard that can be rolled up into a cylinder. Priced at $14.95 this input device would be a great option for building that oatmeal container computer that you’ve always dreamed about. One great “extra” included with this keyboard is a USB female-to-PS/2 keyboard converter plug. A nice adapter for making newer keyboards work with older PCs. —Dave Prochnow
