From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
keyboard          A {hardware} device consisting of a number of       mechanical buttons (keys) which the user presses to input       characters to a computer.          Keyboards were originally part of {terminals} which were       separate {peripheral} devices that performed both input and       output and communicated with the computer via a {serial line}.       Today a keyboard is more likely to be connected more directly       to the processor, allowing the processor to scan it and detect       which key or keys are currently pressed.   Pressing a key sends       a low-level {key code} to the keyboard input driver routine       which translates this to one or more {characters} or special       actions.          Keyboards vary in the keys they have, most have keys to       generate the {ASCII} {character set} as well as various       {function keys} and special purpose keys, e.g. reset or volume       control.          (2003-07-04)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Kibroth-hattaavah       the graves of the longing or of lust, one of the stations of the       Israelites in the wilderness. It was probably in the Wady       Murrah, and has been identified with the Erweis el-Ebeirig,       where the remains of an ancient encampment have been found,       about 30 miles north-east of Sinai, and exactly a day's journey       from 'Ain Hudherah.                "Here began the troubles of the journey. First, complaints       broke out among the people, probably at the heat, the toil, and       the privations of the march; and then God at once punished them       by lightning, which fell on the hinder part of the camp, and       killed many persons, but ceased at the intercession of Moses       (Num. 11:1, 2). Then a disgust fell on the multitude at having       nothing to eat but the manna day after day, no change, no flesh,       no fish, no high-flavoured vegetables, no luscious fruits...The       people loathed the 'light food,' and cried out to Moses, 'Give       us flesh, give us flesh, that we may eat.'" In this emergency       Moses, in despair, cried unto God. An answer came. God sent "a       prodigious flight of quails, on which the people satiated their       gluttonous appetite for a full month. Then punishment fell on       them: they loathed the food which they had desired; it bred       disease in them; the divine anger aggravated the disease into a       plague, and a heavy mortality was the consequence. The dead were       buried without the camp; and in memory of man's sin and of the       divine wrath this name, Kibroth-hattaavah, the Graves of Lust,       was given to the place of their sepulchre" (Num. 11:34, 35;       33:16, 17; Deut. 9:22; comp. Ps. 78:30, 31)., Rawlinson's Moses,       p. 175. From this encampment they journeyed in a north-eastern       direction to Hazeroth.
