He really does need a better camera... The pictures there aren't appetising in the slightest.

Yeah, he was having a bad camera day.
1/2.5" 7 MP @ ISO 1600 = no good. Seems like it's "bad camera setup day" - 1/320 s. 1/80 s at 400 would have been better. Still kinda low lighting though.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

Hmmm, Unicomp Customizer for $70 or NIB Model M 1391401 for $90?

It's actually not that easy a decision.  The Unicomp will have a lighter (5g) and often (not always) better keyfeel but obvious, err....., "cosmetic" issues.

The IBM M is HISTORY!  Much more impressive visually.  Every keyboard collector has to have one - even though mine gets little use (too big).


Yeah the cosmetic issues of the Customizer are a problem for me.  I do like the windows keys though.
