TIL that the original IBM PC keyboard had a pencil tray along the top where today's full-size keyboards have the F-Keys. (The F-Keys were at the left of the keyboard, vertical) #retroComputing

@uliwitness You don't need to go that far back even. For example, see this 1995 keyboard model which evolved from that Model F.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IBM_Model_M_1391403_keyboard.jpg(Yes, that was before Microsoft trademark branded keys became widespread.)#keyboard #ClickyKeyboard #ModelF #ModelM #retrocomputing

@mkj @uliwitness Right, and the Model-M I'm using here has that; plenty of room for USB sticks, and pens.
