I never explicitly mentioned America ... although my heart beats American which means I have high cholesterol and all that bull**** (well actually I don't)

I like the setup but if I'm being picky:

That's a korean board
Our flag doesn't look like that.

Stil, very good show lad!

Maybe Tai Hao?

I thought the obvious answer was a Unicomp, for American patriotism.

Definitely, when anything rears it's head relating to TRUE 100% american patriotism it has to be IBM related  :thumb: .  Since they don't actually make anything on home soil anymore besides Unicomp Keyboards, then they deserve to be proud.

Of course they're up against keyboard manufacturers based in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China which accounts for nearly 95% of keyboard manufacturers, on the surface of this globe.  Asians have the absolute right to feel superior with what they've contributed in the world today, with Kmacs, LZ's, GON's, WASD's, Filco's and Thorpies of every kind.

There is a great Murican who sometimes goes by the name of spamray. This great Murican brother went out of his way to make a new fellow brother feel welcome by presenting him with a lil' surprise.

Thanks spamray! You're just too awesome, mang. Love it :D  I just feel bad because I literally don't have the time to think through a nice thank you message because I have to leave in 5 minutes!!!
