These badges are so nice. I looked for ages to get a cheap 1390136 just to get one - and I already had a black badge model xD .

They are really cool badges - just be aware the 3/4" badges are the smaller ones on the M122s, not the 1" badges like on the M101s.

If you are desperate and cheap, somebody (Greek Stallion?) found a box of IBM-branded 3.5" floppies with IBM logo on the metal slider that could be cut and fit.

"It turns out that for a decade, whenever Trump wanted to get a loan, or make a deal, he would inflate the value of his real estate. For instance, suggesting that his 11,000-square foot penthouse was a 30,000-square foot penthouse.
And the attorney general of New York knew that Trump's property values were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties.
It was all part of a very sophisticated real estate practice known as “lying.”

Is that right! Huh, never noticed... How about that. The bigger boards must make the difference less obvious.

Yeesh, you'd need a laser cutter to do that neatly, wouldn't you? Heh, though—you could also cut out your logo area and mount this sort of thing in it:





That's draw some double-takes at a keeb meet. You could tell people you typed so fast, you had to add the air vent to keep the controller cool.
