The Anykeys that I used back in the day were prone to spontaneously jumping into programming mode while you were typing, leading to somewhat random keyboard mappings. I did stick with a Dell 101 until I got a desktop machine with no PS2 ports. I've got a Lenovo one now that's passable, but not great.

Actually, the poll mixes and matches incorrectly. The poll caption is "Most precise measuring tool I've used ..." but then all of the options describe accuracy, which is of course different. Precision describes the difference between the measurement of the quantity being observed and the next closest possible measurement. Accuracy describes the difference between the measurement and the actual value of the quantity being observed. A deli scale might be precise to a tenth of an ounce (or a milligram, if that's where you live), but when the clerk has his thumb on it the accuracy is no where near that.
