Title: Hello from Panama!
Post by: sprk on Thu, 19 December 2013, 22:54:58
Hello all! Been a lurker for a while now and thought its time to say hello and start posting! Have been interested in mechanical keyboards for a while now and though that now that I have a KBC Poker ii on the way it's the right moment to start contributing to the place that gave me a wealth of information about something as great as which mechanical keyboard to buy for my first purchase.

After typing on a thinkpad keyboard at home and an apple mini at work I'm super excited to start my "journey" into such a fascinating world that is mechanical keyboards. I'm sure my wallet is in pain right now from the though of the weight loss that it will suffer soon. Being a multiplatform programmer for the last ten years means that my next purchase will certainly be a hhkb, so there goes the moolah!

Anyways, thanks for having an awesome community and well - Hello!

welcome to GH. I have been to this Panama you speak of. You have a very nice canal, and it was very, very hot.

Welcome to GH!

My dad grew up in the Canal Zone and we have family that still lives there. I've visited a few times and it's been quite fun :).

Thank you! Give me a shout out next time you're here and we'll take out keyboards out for a drink!
