Untill the end of the video and I thought, you know what, I bet that little trooper still works. =]

If keyboards could talk...

I like the fact that it has 5 likes and 71 dislikes.
Apparently that youtube channel has a whole series of vids of them destroying old (and probably still perfectly functional) objects. How needlessly wasteful.
-
Meh, I'd me more pissed if it was something rare like a SSK
-
I skipped most of the front part. For some reason, it kinda reminded me of a panzer on fire. Guess that's why they say model ms are built like tanks.
-
I used to fantasize about having an RD-smashing party.
-
He looks like a punk in the video.
Good thing model M's are so common.
-
Guy looks like retard, acts like a retard and recorded some really retarded ****.
Yeah, surely your Razer Lycosa is better than that 13 years old keyboard...
Someone up for burning that guy with fire?
-
He is not the most stupid person I have ever seen on YouTube.
However, it would have been a lot easier to just burn a couple of twenty dollar bills.
-
Disgraceful... that poor Model M...
-
thats an ugly mother f***er :D
-
What a moron...
-
Did he say that he wasn't sure matches would light gasoline?

If someone can find a "Razer Lycosa", whatever the f**k THAT is, I'd be happy to do a video of a Model M setting fire to IT. :mad:
I couldn't actually do the following test, but it would be interesting to set them BOTH* on fire, then extinguish them both, and see which ONE still worked. :)

* Apologies for the ambiguity. I realize that my sentence could be read to mean either "BOTH = a Model M and a Razer" or "BOTH = a Model M and the guy who posted the video". Sorry for any confusion.
-
That guy looks pretty useless also. I'd say smash him on the concrete and burn him in fire also.

Just check the price and the reviews :P
Anyway, I just said that because he probably has a backlit membrane keyboard nowadays and think he's cool for burning an old keyboard like the Model M... Not like I'm sure he has a Lycosa or anything... Maybe he could also have one of those "cool" keyboards with LCD screens which cost more than a FILCO does...

What a KNOB! If he only knew what that thing was worth!
This whole nasty episode should be deleted. He should be deleted also. Oh, wait, we need someone to work the parts counter at Autozone for the next 30 years.

Explains everything.
Isn't there a law against people like him?

Hahahaha Ron you killed it man, that second test proposal of yours had me laughing for five minutes
-
I hope he keeps making these videos.
Eventually, he's bound to screw up trying to destroy something and have a horrible accident. :)
-
What an ugly looking kid. No wonder he is breaking things. Most of you probably got sick more from his face than this video! Ugghh.

LoL, the good ol' drainage channels worked! It tried to save itself. XD

Damn, talk about retribution. Trouble with smashing him on concrete blood splatter everywhere...... safest so that the authorities will never know or get evidence pointing to you, wrap in plastic tightly and bash him with a large axe handle all the way up and down his body.
That way it's much easier to dump the body out to sea already mangled and minced.
-
This kid looks like he's had a hard time. Though I don't support or like his personality, he is only acting like this because his life at home or at school isn't so great. I suspect this kid gets bullied either at school or at home. Even though the kid irritates me, I do feel sorry for him, he has not been taught right and is acting out because of it.
This thread should be put in media.
-
But, am I the only one who thinks that, that Model M could still be repaired after getting burned?

Twas thinking the same thing!
-
I couldn't even watch the vid.
Guy's face/demeanor just made me too angry.
-
Angry isn't the word for how I feel.
Sad. Or even better, pity. How else can you feel for someone that looks like that, acts like that and doesn't know how to use the internet properly to either make money selling this or get an adapter to use it.
Poor poor inbred yokel.
-
Not a enjoyable video at all.
-
What a douche!
-
Was that Ripster? Anyhow, speaking of sick individuals: http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/topre-realforce-103u-uw-for-something-t2612.html ... it gives me chills!
-
Was that Ripster? He be trollin' !
I don't even think Ripster could be that evil as to destroy a perfectly good Model M...
-
Ripster is a little more professional and has reasons for doing things.
This kid seems to be much younger and a little less intelligent.
I don't know ripster but if I had to guess he would be at least his late 20s and asian.
-
From that Model M he could have gotten at least $20. Now all he got is to look like an idiot.

He did burn a vintage NeXT "cube" computer and bragged about it here on Geekhack. They are serious collectors items too, although not as usable today as a Model M keyboard. The game Doom and the WWW were developed on NeXT computers. The operating system of the NeXT computers was greatly influential on the competition in the day and was later developed into MacOS X. A great piece of computing history.

Last week in Sweden, someone got $150 for theirs on an auction site. Regular Model M, not SSK, Industrial or anything, not even an old model with square logo.

Yep, as the dwindling supplies of decent conditioned Model-M's become the norm now, the prices are slowly escalating. No matter what condition Model-M you have in your possession just hanging on to it for another few years, increases it's value more than any other Keyboard.
I would like to see what your classic Yum-cha keyboard would get in 10 years time.......
-
Had that good done any research at all he would have figured out he could have made some decent pocket cash for that board. That was an ID10T error.
-
Who knows maybe he bought it dor $150 just to burn it
-
he looks like he set his face on fire
-

Nay, those are manufacturing problems, it's a faulty unit.

soldering went wrong I guess

There's a special place in hell for people like them! :eek:
