or plastic keys that look like pieces of chewing gum. (Chiclets is the
brand name of a variety of chewing gum that does in fact resemble the keys
of chiclet keyboards.) Used esp. to describe the original IBM PCjr
keyboard. Vendors unanimously liked these because they were cheap, and a
lot of early portable and laptop products got launched using them.
Customers rejected the idea with almost equal unanimity, and chiclets are
not often seen on anything larger than a digital watch any more.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="chickenboner.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../C.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="Chinese-Army-technique.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">chickenboner </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Chinese Army technique</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
