The ZX Spectrum in 1982 (and I'm quite sure its ancestors ZX-80 and ZX-81 from their eponymous years) had a keyboard just as cheap or cheaper, with a similar matrix arrangement), but had no ghosting at all: Instead of having an 'all hot' electrical configuration, it would cycle through the rows with a 'one hot' configuration, and read the columns.

Ghosting is an issue that once resided in a gray area of rules and ethics for online poker. Since there is not technically a one-player-to-a-hand-rule for online poker, it is nearly impossible to police ghosting in a culture that was built around sharing advice on instant messenger. Whether on a riverboat atop the Mighty Mississippi or in the smoky dimness of a mining camp saloon, a lucky draw could turn a broken man into a winner.In the days of the frontier west, poker was king with the mustachioed likes of Wild Bill Hickok, Doc Holliday, “Canada” Bill Jones, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and hundreds of others. My father taught me how to play poker next to the Murphy bed. After every deal, he said 'the pot is right.' Whose pot is right & why: the ghost of a failed general strike. In his metallic mauve Altima the Black & Mild's cut sharpie-sized holes in the tan leather interior. Every cigar, every car: the ghost of a failed general strike.

Ghosting means leaving without saying goodbye. It may refer to when a person leaves a social gathering without saying goodbye or when a person cuts off contact without warning.

Ghosting is done by people who don't want to go through the drawn-out process of saying their farewells to others when all they want to do is bounce. The term is also known by some as the French exit or Irish goodbye. Ghosting may also appear as just 'ghost.'

Ghosting is not only limited to the context of leaving social gatherings. It is also used in the dating world when a person abruptly cuts off contact with another person. He or she may stop texting or emailing without giving a reason and just vanish like a ghost, without a trace.

Ghosting in romantic relationships is a tactic employed by people that are afraid of conflict or are just plain lazy. It is typically done by men who are bad at communication but may also be done by females.

One reason ghosting has become more popular recently is the reliance on technology to connect with others. So instead of breaking up with someone face-to-face, over-the-phone, or in a letter, people find it much more convenient to text or email the person. In regards to ghosting, many people prefer to just not answer their SO's phone calls, texts, emails, or social posts and wait for them to take the hint.

While this method of breaking up is easier for the one doing the breaking up, it is extremely frustrating for the person he or she is breaking up with. So it is wise to avoid ghosting if you don't want to leave a trail of bitter exes.
