I didn't know this...but there were AT keyboards from the late 80's/early 90's with Cherry MX Blue switches?

I got given a whole heap of old computer stuff yesterday, and I came across a "Chicony KB-5191" which I only just found out has MX Blue switches....which is a bloody shock as I was expecting to have to pay at least $200 AUD+ for a keyboard with them and have had to make do with a keyboard based around a cheap made-in-Taiwan clone (Kaith Blue switches switches) which already has a dead switch.

I think the history of Cherry MX Blue switches on some websites is off by quite a few years.....
