I've decided ...
« on: Sun, 02 September 2007, 00:56:05 »
This time, with my student loans, I am only going to buy one toy. Last year I bought too much and went broke soon after receiving them, but then I did not have a baby on the way and everything I bought, I still use daily. This time I will be a lot more responsible and and I'll blow a tenth of what I did last year. So here is what I want:

The Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro 2. I am thinking black, but I am undecided on whether to get the printed keys or the blank. The black plastic with the black writing  looks awesome, but I really don't need printing, as I have adequately proven to myself. I don't know, all I know is that I prefer the black one to the white, which is brand new for me.

I know iMav has said he has a HHKB, so tell me - is yours a Pro 2, a Pro 1 or an HHKB, and what color / printing scheme do you have on it? $250 is a chunk of change for me so I want to get eh right one. Plus, they aren't even being made anymore, so I want to buy a new one while I still can.

The only place I've found that has them is GeekStuff4You.com, can you recommend any different suppliers?

I own the HHKB Pro v.1.  It is the black model with blank key tops.  I've been over here in Iraq for almost a year, and my HHKB Pro is sitting in my home office in Wisconsin, so it is difficult for me to provide feedback regarding it.  :)

I believe the v.2 was out when I bought my v.1 model...but the Fujitsu yahoo store never made mention of it.

I find it difficult recommending anything purchased with student loans...I married into a TON of student loan debt.   But I'm not bitter or  anything.  :roll:  If you do purchase it, I expect a review!

And you'll get a review.

It's not like I asked for more loans to get this, I am just getting the standard amount. Plus, I am not planning on getting married (ever) so that isn't really an issue with me.

Don't take it the wrong way.  I was just attempting a bit of humor.  I understand the need for student loans...and as long as they are paid back, I have ZERO issues with them.

Gotcha. School is hard as a non-trad, and every bit helps. It is good that I have had the same job since before I started college, to.

Who necroed this?

For a minute I thought xsphat was back!
"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
