Hey, old computer nerds! The IBM RT workstation: what was its default/standard/commonest keyboard? Was it a Model M?
Or, even better, does anybody happen to know what model keyboard the IBM RTs in the #MIT Student Center 5th floor Athena cluster had back in the 1990s?

Hey, old computer nerds! The IBM RT workstation: what was its default/standard/commonest keyboard? Was it a Model M?

Why I'm asking: my next question is "This here ergonomic keyboard vendor is asking me which kind of switch I want in my keyboard so I would like to know which of these available switches is most like those in the keyboards on the IBM RTs in the MIT Student Center Athena cluster in 1990."
I am sufficiently disabled that going to a store to try out keyboards is not feasible, so I need to order online without trying. Also, I have spent the last thirty-five years feeling disappointed in pretty much all keyboards that they didn't have the feel of MIT's old Athena cluster RTs, so I figure I should finally learn enough about them to get knowledgeably snobby about available keyboard switches. Step 1 is, clearly, identifying which keyboard they were.

There are plausible representations of astronomical phenomena that date back much further -- like the representation of the Pleiades in the Lascaux cave paintings about 19 kya. That's deep into our axial precession and axial tilt cycles.

Our earliest megalithic monuments that plausibly indicate observance of the solstice go back about 8000 years.

@MirSobhan that sounds great!

The direction and angle of our planet's tilt off the ecliptic plane changes on periods of about 26,000 and 41,000 years respectively.

I like thinking about the fact that the solstice has changed quite significantly in the lifetime of our species.

Running Infinity Nikki on Linux
My family use only free-as-in-freedom software as far as I can.I am also quite pleased that my 2nd daughter is quite fond of the setup of her Debian GNU/Linux box as she can play all the games she likes, using Steam and ProtonDB.
With one sorely exception: Infinity Nikki. It has requirements so high that they seems almost exce
