the hunt rides!

There's currently a "spontaneous/off-the-cuff poetry" thread going on on a list I'm on. This was my contribution:

The Hunt rides!
with paws aflame
that light the fields--
The Hunt rides!
with ghostly howls
that open the hills--
The Hunt rides!
with stormlight wake
that stirs the stars--
The Hunt rides!

are there no plain computer accessories?

I would like a new keyboard, in black, standard 101-key layout (or whatever the exact number is when you count Windows-key, which isn't "old standard"), nothing "compact" or "slim" (I want a full number pad), nothing "ergonomic" or "comfort" (I have gotten quite used to the "bad" position, thank you), nothing with twenty-five "media station" keys or whatever-the-fuck you want to call all those extra "play", "stop", etc things which often adorn the top or side of keyboards nowadays, and nothing with various "internet function" keys ("get email"). I don't want some kind of desktop set which comes with a tray or whatever (although I might consider one with a wireless mouse, since I want one of those).

Finding this in white/beige is possible. But I just can't seem to find one in black. Black is "cool" and "modern" and so has to have all that extra crap on it, it seems. Is there any such thing as a plain keyboard anymore? (I have this problem with joysticks too. I want a stick, and two fire buttons. That's it. It doesn't need to look like it came out of an F-14 or a Nascar vehicle.)
