Damn, what are you trying to do to my wallet?
Oh goody—it's the
"my wallet" analogy!! Anyone who's spent much time at GH knows there's an incredible number of "my wallet" references here (not counting
this thread that's about actual wallets). The place is
just crawling with them.
It's intended to be mildly witty, right? You know, "Heh heh, I'm not
really talking my wallet, but my next credit card statement, or I'm rich and don't really care, or whatever, something." But
so many people have used "my wallet", I get the giggles when I see yet
another one—as, by now, it's about the
least witty thing one could possibly post. "My wallet" has been used
so many times, it's like a humor black hole, sucking into oblivion anything in its vicinity that's even remotely funny.
And yet,
because it's been driven so firmly into the ground, it's hilarious anyway (LOL, <g>,
, etc.).
It's about time the GH "my wallet" phenomenon was formally acknowledged! I'm starting a "My Wallet" thread in Off Topic so we can revel in GH's über-"my wallet"-ness. Okay,
here it is.
Well, I had to get that out of my system. You know, the "my wallet" thing. OK then, carry on. ("My wallet", though—ha!)
The build quality of these are superb and if you can get over the layout they are great keyboards and I highly recommend them. We are not ever going back to $35 XT's, at least not on eBay...
Yup—and as far as I could tell, it was the appearance on YouTube of
Chyros's glowing F-XT review a bit over two years ago that sent prices soaring. Suddenly everyone was going, "Really, these are built even better than F-ATs? And they're that cheap?" Of course you need a Soarer's converter, or equivalent, to use them with a modern PC. Price-jump-wise, though, I'm pretty sure we're talking a solid bit of keeb-collecting history.
