Well I am here to tell you that you can still buy "Clicky" style keyboards online, either vintage orginals or "modern" updated versions and adapters to use the vintage keyborads on modern Motherboards.
You can buy vinatage keyboards and adpters from:
http://www.clickykeyboards.com
you can buy "modern" clicky keyboards, that have the windows button added for example at:
http://www.pckeyboard.com/
I hope I have been able to help you fully enjoy the best in keyboarding there is.
