I got my ML4100 for $20 shipped...

Erm, no, wait. I didn't notice it was in the original box. Mine wasn't.

scarry-garcia sells them at ridiculous prices too. You can buy them new for less.

But... but... it's "vintage" and "hacker-style"! :)

"Vintage" doesn't mean crap :P The seller sells boards with Windows keys as being "Vintage". XD

Exactly my point.  This is a perfect example of the misuse of terms like "vintage" to hawk an otherwise unremarkable item (unremarkable = good, but nothing to get overly excited about).

Ooooh, "hacker style"!  Does it have a "crack password" key?

Last I checked, a "hacker style" keyboard clicks louder than a Model M, but clicks at completely different times from when keystrokes are entered, and sends keystrokes that are entirely different from what the act^W"hacker" is entering into the system, but are mysteriously always the correct command or password.

And, they're only attached to machines running MovieOS (http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=522490).
