Found any good keyboard humor lately? This is meant to be a fun thread.

My girlfriend laughs at me when I tell her how much I've spent on accessories for my keyboard. Does that count as keyboard humor?

No, not at all.
It's drama!
And yes, I've been there too.

To be fair, all the weight/size stuff was pre (halfway useful) transistor. Tube based machines would have stayed heavy and limited user wise (though still more than five worldwide). Many of the other comments just sound ill thought out, but you can't expect a man to predict something like the silicon transistor.

I came up with a joke just for this thread. It is tasteless, but not overtly vulgar. Please forgive and do not ban me. Ready?

Q: What keyboard do women like least?
A: QuickFire Rapid

You did not specify the switch type and spring weight.

In a similar vein, I like the frink quote: "I predict that within 100 years, computers will be twice as powerful, ten thousand times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them."

Needs a last panel "What happened when I looked at those first four pictures, concluded "The profile of some of those boards looks like it could be a vintage board... and pulled the one from the middle."

Don't you have anything better to do with your life than yammering away on the minute details of a keyboard? I have both an M and an F that I picked up at goodwill for nothing 15 years ago and for the first time yesterday I googled about them and found 'enthusiast' (here an euphemism for retarded) websites where idiots bounce off the walls telling each other about the orgasms per second they have when using them. And 'using' is an overstatement with 90% of those morons. Most are busy opening them, cleaning the last atom of dirt off them, 'restoring' what doesn't need any restoration, 'upgrading', thinking of names for them, 'modding', taking photos, showing them off, in general jerking off about the clicky sensations and the superb accuracy of their typing and other general uber-dorkiness. What I never found there was anything useful to do with them, ie. actually program a computer.

Go type 'messenger lectures' in youtube and see what smart people look like, then kill yourself disassembling your One True Keyboard(TM) for the nth time and swallowing all the buckling springs.

And then mail one of your remaining model Fs to me.

Probably deserves re-posting, yet again.
