In the immortal words of Keith Thrash - "Twinax cable is great. It never breaks, and if you have enough of it, you can pull your truck out of the mud."

And I beg to differ on your opinion of twinax. I went through a bunch
of those. On/off switches breaking. All sorts of issues with wiring.
And the usual CRT issues. Firmware needing upgrades, etc. But I've
also found it's hard to change people's mind when they wax
nostalgically about the good old days. They seem to forget polio,
small pox, depression era poverty, trench warfare and so on.

Oh I hated twinax cable itself, pulling that stuff along the suspended ceiling usually resulted in half of it coming down and it really didn't like going around corners and a dodgy screen causing the whole chain to fail and the older screens having burnt in shadows of the signon screen... but the keyboard I really liked.
