It's the simple things in life.
« on: September 11, 2014, 09:01:49 PM »
I finally broke down and bought different  a  key board for home.

Ahhhhhhhh the feel of vintage IBM model  M's.

It's a love affair of 35 years that is very difficult to describe.
Home and work  now match.

You think that's going to stop me from shooting you down?  :airplane:

Any typist who has typed on a model M will have a fetish.

I love my unicomp classic 104. My wife hates it though.  She says it's too loud. Oh well tough poop for her.

I wish I could type well enough to appreciate the differences between keyboards.

I'm a horrible typist. I just love the sound and feel of the mechanical keyboard.  If you were to type on one you would know the difference immediately.

 I might have 2 mid 90's vintages sitting in a box of assorted junk!


    They kept waking my wife up so I looked long and hard for a quite KB.


   Now it doesnt matter as I sound proofed the mancave.....  I cant type so they are just clunky plastic things with letters on them! :devil
