This discussion was about PCs and their peripherals.  Try buying a quality
keyboard some time.  Not enough people appreciate the difference between a
good and a crappy keyboard and wouldn't know how to judge which is which
anyway, so they buy pretty much on price alone.  You can get all the $10
keyboards that will fall apart in 3 years of are annoying to type on you
want.  Even if you were willing to spend $25 for a keyboard you really
liked, you can't because not enough other people would buy it to make it a
profitable venture to produce.
