Title: ERGO-HHKB-DOX
Post by: adhoc on Mon, 03 March 2014, 09:53:35
So, ever since tp4 explained to me I only liked HHKB, because it allegedly represents a significant portion of my income and I can't tell myself I do not like it, I couldn't stop thinking about the unspeakable greatness that he presented as a superior - the one and only, ergodox. I couldn't sleep at night, I woke up in screams from nightmares, pouring in sweat, yelling ergodox! into thin air, but I didn't know what to do about it. On one hand, I can't sell HHKB (because obviously nobody buys such garbage) and on the other, I can't afford an ergodox...I was pondering long at night, but then one day, I came up with a cunning plan...

ERGO-HHKB-DOX! And thus, it had been born!

What is that skit? I saw it in school.... I want to find it...
Some people like a space bar that's oriented like that. It's supposed to help them type and such... I don't really see how though.

This skit (http://www.hulu.com/watch/4183)


I am not sure what you mean by 'oriented like that'. This is the way my HHKB came to me, sent directly from God.

Am I the only one that thinks the uTron is not very nice looking? I like the look of the Ergo Dox's especially with some sweet case and cap modifications but could never leave Topre.
