Ok, so this is just some sort of freak occurrence. Be assured I am not trying to flood this place with old (subjective) IBM desktops.

If your local and in the market for a Model M and have some interest in outdated hardware, this might be for you.

I bought this. Still not sure what, if anything, I can use the computer for, but I have the keyboard hooked up to my main PC right now.

  • Missed another sale.
And a fine keyboard it is :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
