I swear I should totally buy that and resell it.  If it was $20 cheaper I probably would...

good price for such a clean one from a reliable seller.  But in the grand tradition of geekhacker fickleness, I suddenly dont want a mini so much anymore (lol!). Thanks to the RipOmeter, and playing around with my spare nickels, I think what I want is a slightly lighter board (switched back to my endurapro for the moment, lol).  And I just bought an ultranav for $35, which will keep me satisfied for a good week or two before the keyboard bug strikes again.

Anyway, I think i'm going to start saving for a topre 87U actually, (a long process at $350 a pop, better start saving that spare change). That'll give me 3 boards at medium-to-heavy key weights (55gm, 65gm, and 70gm (approximately, or relative to each other anyway))  which is about the range that I like I guess.  So the mini has been suddenly pushed back down the priority list. Go figure.  ;)

Oh no, my RipOmeter (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?t=6189) is preventing a Geekhacker from getting a keyboard he/she doesn't need.

lol, i'm sure its only a temporary glitch ;)
