While he was taking apart the keyboard, he could have made a mention how serviceable it is compared to many contemporary home computers.

He made his feelings about the Commodore 64's keyboard pretty clear. Apparently, our "Standards" were lower in the 80's than they are today.

My standard is still the same -- the best for the best price. The C64 fit that bill.
