OMG, I had a Radio Shack Model I computer and it had wee little mechanical switches in the keeeeybooooard that bbounceeed like crazzzzzy. RS never did come up with a fix but some early on wire head came up with a software fix that modified the scanning rate of the keyboard matrix. By then I was running LDOS and I made the KB fix part of the boot up sequence.

I miss those days, by the time I retired the RS machine I was running compiled BASIC with single key ISAM and supporting a project cost accounting system for the company I worked for.

PS Used to do a lot with 40K of real memory, you can't find "tight" programing anymore.
