Title: [ebay UK] Wyse PS/2 Keyboard. KB-3926
Post by: Rajagra on Wed, 10 June 2009, 13:04:58: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230347670741 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230347670741)
Brand new. 104 standard keys - UK layout. £2.95 each, £3.99 postage (£2.00 post for additional ones)

Am I right in saying these are decent keyboards with black Cherry MX switches and work on PCs?

If so, these are a steal right?

Seller has 4 more listed at £1 more (assuming he hasn't relisted the same ones.)

EDIT> For the record these were just membrane/sheet of rubber dome keyboards.

Well, I never was a fan of English food (except pasties, Cornish pasty you perverts, and fish&chips).

Somehow the combo of Hospital English food sounds even less appetizing. Keep posting!! We'll try and cheer you up with our antics.

When I lived in UK in the mid-80s, my mom had to go to a UK hospital to get experimental treatment for a degenerative spinal condition she has. They had given her some ice cream, but she wasn't hungry at the time, so she didn't eat it. At the time, the UK was still under milk rations from WWII, so ice cream was generally made from powdered milk. When my mom woke up about 3 hours later, the ice cream still hadn't melted.

Post by: lam47 on Thu, 11 June 2009, 08:19:18: Lol. Yeah hospital food is still rough as hell.
I like fish and chips and living by the seaside as I do it is a very common meal.
Still I would rather go for pizza any day. Black olives and anchovies!
Or sushi. I love sushi.
Unfortunately because of my current condition I am not eating at all. I will loose some weight I guess but its not a lot of fun. Plain spaghetti and milk are about the only things that dont have me in excruciating pain :(

@ Pasties I think are horrible. The origins are weird where they used to have meat at one end and sweet food at the other. The pastry was just a carrier!
When I went to Cornwall all the shops had furry pasties in the windows with eyes and legs. It was terrifying.

Thanks guys :)
Don't tell anyone but I did have a model M mini on my lap in bed yesterday.
No Pc just the board. A strange kind of comfort but B was out with Ella.
Seriously thanks. I am in so much pain at the moment and this has been going on far too long.
Fingers crossed things get better from here on.
