So I was watching Warehouse 13 the other day at the wife's request. It gets a few minutes in and the wife says I need to check out Artie's keyboard. I'm looking at it in couple second glimpses. I think to myself "I know this keyboard". I start digging online and I find that it is a Datamancer (http://www.datamancer.com/cart/the-sojourner-keyboard-p-188.html). I told her I found the site with that exact keyboard for sale. She said "Ohh I want". That changed quickly when I told her the price.

Yes I do. I love my wife. Every geekhacker could only wish to have a wife as understanding as mine.

My SO understands my obsessions.
And I understand hers.
Our daughter is old enough to be getting her own obsessions now.
this is getting expensive :eek:

The wife said she was curious what the SO's obsessions and the daughters obsessions are/were. Also sounds like Rowdy might want to start thinking about working some overtime.

If you guys want something with a similar esthetic at a lower price, check out the QuerKeys kickstarter. No brass, and a little less steampunk, but it oozes nostalgia.

Oops, never mind, it ended. Maybe the starter will begin producing them for sale, though.

I believe I heard SonicRevolution state at Keycon that he is still taking preorders for the QwerkyWriter. Maybe you can send him a PM here, if you're interested. But I don't think they are scheduled to ship for another 12 months.
