Post by: 486 on Mon, 23 July 2012, 16:36:58: Lol. His sig can't fit all his keyboards.
Got a leaked photo. It's only a small part of his collection though.

Title: Re: REQUEST: megnin's entire keyboard collection
Post by: megnin on Mon, 23 July 2012, 20:40:47: I just now found this thread. I've been planning to have a little "keyboard history and progression" layout at work for one of our IT staff meetings. My boss thinks I need professional help, but suggested that I do a keyboard history thing. I have all my packages delivered to the office so for a while every time he would come to my office I would tell him, "Hey, I got a new keyboard today." Sometimes it was more than once a day. He would just shake his head.

As soon as I get the Ducky Dragon and the Races that iMav is sending out, I'll start the photo op.

I have seen some of the pictures of some of webwit's keyboards over on Deskthority. I have nothing compared to his keyboards. He has more of the crazy exotic keyboards than I have keyboards in my entire collection.

I had difficulty getting it in the sig size image allowed on the old GH. 1000 x 300 is tough, but doable. ;-)

Edit: About 45

Abusing the corporate credit card, are we? :P

Not at all. The USPS doesn't charge to deliver the mail. The sender pays the fees by paying for postage. ???

Post by: alaricljs on Tue, 24 July 2012, 10:05:25: I believe the allusion was to using the corp card to purchase the keyboards. On the other hand, I too have my work address registered with my personal card.

Post by: dorkvader on Sun, 29 July 2012, 15:22:38: At my work, we are not allowed to get anything delivered to us at work. It might be a fireable offense.

I'm interested in seeing megnin's collection, too. I can't wait for the races to be delivered, so the journey can commence.

Post by: megnin on Sat, 04 August 2012, 08:44:16: It looks like the Races and the Ducky Dragon should be on the way in just a matter of days now. iMav is shipping the Races and Lin has the Duckys. I'm starting to gather up my boxes of keyboards to take in to the office where there's some nice long conference tables I can set them out on. I'll have to swipe a few keyboards from my co-workers who I've supplied keyboards to. I hate seeing fellow IT workers typing on $9.00 Dell RD keyboards so I've distributed mechanical keyboards to all but two people in my department. Those last two should be fixed up next week.

Post by: thegunner100 on Sat, 04 August 2012, 09:39:03: Yes!!! Looking forward to seeing photos of your keyboard collection, megnin! xD

Your co-workers are very fortunate to be working with someone like you :P

Post by: Djuzuh on Sat, 04 August 2012, 09:55:17: Ha, makes me think.

My brother always took me for crazy for putting that much money into keyboards.

Then one day I lend him my model M.

The day afterwards: "Damn I need to buy myself one".

\o/
