These are strange times we live in. I was just thinking about all those that have lost the fight against this disease and it got me wondering, what if I also got it and died from it. I thought about all the things I have already put in place for my family and also the things that I have not and that I should have taken care of. Then it occurred to me about my keyboard collection and what to do with that.
While thinking about who i would give which keyboard to and why I realised that I have a lot of GB's unfulfilled over the past two years for or both keyboards and keycap sets as well as other items. Just imagine what it would be like for my family after I am gone. For months after I am dead, they would be receiving random keyboards, keycaps and mats from various vendors around the world. With no rhyme or reason behind them. It would be like a really bad version of those stories you hear about people who leave a legacy of movie clips and letters for their family when they know they are going to die.
The 1st one or two would make them emotional (I like to think) but by the time, 1 year later they are still receiving various different coloured sets of caps they would just be mad at all the money I had spent.
Have you thought about what you would do with yours or how many unfulfilled GB's are you waiting on?

What you've described is similar to your loved ones finding out there's a box of naughty magazines under your bed after you pass. /kekekekeke
Which Covid risk factors do you have ?

I had double pneumonia two years ago from a blood infection and almost died. I can't really get an infection that would cause difficulties breathing. That would be bad.

Tp4 recommends a lake side retreat in the country away from all the infectious city dwellers.

Well I’d never get to see the new quill lake update

I've thought about this scenario (not in relation to covid, just death in general), and I don't know what my wife would do with that stuff. The only thing arriving at this point will be an F77, so at least there's not a big backlog at the moment. But I guess this goes for all my possessions. Most of them will be meaningless without me here to use them. Most of them are currently pointless anyway, haha.
I've thought about this with my mom's stuff. What am I going to do with a house full of junk when she's gone? How will I know which things actually mattered?

It is weird how much one person can love something like a keyboard but to someone else it is worthless. 'One man's junk is another man's treasure' is such a true saying. To make things worse I have over 30 years of collecting old computers and consoles as well as te fetish for keyboards. My avatar is actually in my collection.
