Photekq bought it but he is in the UK so he needed some sort of proxy arrangement.

Clearly, the speed with which it sold convinced the seller to double the price this time.

edit - he says that he did get it - perhaps the seller had multiples?

[alphax3]

Too bad.  I might have bought it at the old price.

[ThoughtArtist]

Ah man, if only I had money to blow on this. I hope someone gets it and can do a good restoration job on it. I'd love to have it, but I doubt I'd use it very much.

[alphax3]

It would make a fancy doorstop or coffee table conversation piece!

[ThoughtArtist]

I could hit my landlord with it when they come to evict me since I spent my rent money on it!

Wow, is that a thing of beauty or what?

Why is it that most people wouldn't be able to appreciate something as wonderful as that? I think we must have special powers of perception. (Or maybe we're just fixated on orderly rows of small, precise things, LOL.)

That layout and color scheme are quintessential vintage perfection, in my opinion.

[alphax3]

That and others like it probably ended up in a landfill.

too many platforms for people to post their own trashy designs which then makes stuff like this harder to find and less appealing

Needs LEDs, brah.

I can't see any of the seller's listed keyboards.  A search on the seller's items for sale returns nothing for me. 

[alphax3]

The seller only had one item up for sale.  Did you click the link up top?

My Palm Tungsten T5 would probably qualify as "ancient iron".





I was actually using it till a couple of weeks ago, when it finally kacked. Just thought I'd mention it. It seemed thematic.
