Will they drop it or does Canada give out those "F U POST OFFICE WEENER!" slips too? Or one of the "Snow too bad on your driveway slips"?

Well, would appear someone in the household makes frequent trips to the post office. Sure should make it easy and quick for sending out items if members are waiting. :)

My Dolch PAC keyboard just arrived :D

The keycaps are beautiful, practically mint, I almost suspect it's never been used - there was a bit of grime on the spacebar that wiped right off (my guess is that whoever packaged it for shipping had dirty hands), but that was it.  The MX blues sound nice, feel great, I can't wait to mod the connector and get this board working on my desktop.  Pics:

is that a halo 2 pc box?  Do you have halo 1 pc? if so, I'd challenge you :D

Yeah halo 2
I had halo 1 pc awhile ago but I lost the disc and the code
I had the one before that (halo 1) since it came out and I used to play alot of scrims with competitive teams
but sadly I don't have a computer atm but will be building one next week
I am on my laptop and it barely runs it sadly

If you add me on steam I would gladly play halo 1 with you when I build my rig :) I am horrible since I haven't gamed on pc since 2009 but I am getting back into it and a challenge would help :D

EDIT: Steam: ybnrmalatall
OMG  :eek:

A fellow former halo nerd  ;D Haven't heard someone talk about "scrims" in a while.

Halo 2 & 3 were my life for a few years.

The chair - any idea were I can find representative pictures of the various colors they have?  I might just buy one - this is a good price on a HM.  Also, it looks like these are all open box, but still, nice price.

I didn't research that much. But I've sat on a pretty old Ergon and it was still very comfy. This design has been copied over and over for reasons. It works :-)
If the fabric is clean and no scratches - This thing wont disappoint.

It looks like a honeywell/microswitch hall effect KB to me (especially the 4pin switches, and the "micro switch" branding), so I put in a low offer, not expecting to win. Sure, it's missing a switch, but it appears to be from 1977 (Chips appear to be from 1976 or 1977). Hopefully I can convert it to USB with a teensy++ and use it at work.

I also note it's got the same type of "plate mounting" as that prototype KB from 1970 that Haata has.

Some custom keycaps from WASD. I know they are OEM, high profile and ABS. But unlike a lot of people on this board, I have no problem with any of those characteristics. The most comfortable keyboard I own uses keycaps like it (and they are polished to a high sheen from use over the years). Took some light grey and orange with red escape key with engraving.

EDIT:
Cancelled the WASD order since I ran into an amazing deal on some engraved PBT keycaps.

Hopefully, I'll be getting two used rollermice, and an 101key Dell QuietKey this week. I wish the keyboard is in working condition, and made outside China. The last one I bought has incorrectly positioned the rubber dome sheet, and yeah—it's a sheet, not separate pieces of RD on the PCB. Made in Malaysia though.

At last but not least, I'm waiting for the ErgoDox and DSA PBT keycaps to be shipped.
