The one that came with my Dimension E310 looked a lot like this:

Auto Zone bought a big lot of Dell thin clients for their in-store terminals -
all of which came with those same keyboards. I've never seen one in use in any
of the many AZ stores I get to. Everyone at Auto Zone does as I and uses a
"real" keyboard.

When I was working at the Illinois Department of Agriculture the University of
Illinois College of Agriculture and the UofI Extension Service introduced a
variety of hybrid sweet corn known as "Illini Extra Sweet". So, I scored
several packets of seed from the promotional push (gratis) and gave it a try.
It made corn sweeter than I like. But, seems to be a good, consistent seller
since its introduction 40 years ago. It's a yellow variety - "Very sweet golden
yellow corn. After picking, Illini actually increases in sweetness over a day
or two. In addition, the plant usually produces two or more ears 8" long, with
14-18 rows of tender, extra-sweet yellow corn. Always a good freezer." (from
