Hi Everyone,
I'm a software engineer from New Zealand.
I own 3 Model M's. My main keyboard (which I use daily at work) is a 1988 Model M 1391401. It is a generation-1 model (with the vertical stabiliser bars) and has a thick black detatchable spiral cable with an AT plug end.
My other two Model M's are blue-label 1994's (82G2383 not 1391401).
I'm missing a few keys - A left-arrow, a left shift, a print-screen, a number-pad dot/Del, and a Ctrl. But I do have an extra Alt (which is on the missing Ctrl).
I'm such a keyboard geek that I took cake to work to share around for afternoon tea when my work keyboard turned 26 last year (August 10).
Cheers,
Carl.
