Title: request - need your photoshop skills!
Post by: wellington1869 on Fri, 12 June 2009, 13:35:23

is there a photoshop whiz out there who could quickly slice out the numpad in this picture? I want to put a mock up of the endurapro/spacesaver without numpad on the unicomp mini petition!  After all they could produce a 'mini' version of the endurapro just as well as of the customizer 104.  Thanks...

As opposed to a mini version of the customizer, I think i'd actually prefer a mini version of their spacesaver/endurapro models above (rather than the customizer) tho of course what unicomp should do is offer BOTH mini models (and in BOTH colors, black and white). :)  

(actually all three mini versions -- customizer, spacesaver, and endurapro - they should produce immediately) :)

Hamps, I love you.

p.s., if you've got time to kill, want to do similar job on the black endurapro? :)

I wanted to move the arrow keys etc to the left, but the perspective would be wrong.

ok, now who wants to do a mockup of the unicomp spacesaver as the kinesis freestyle? :D
(or as I call it, what unicomp could easily make: a poor man's m15 -- split keyboard with bs switches, using the spacesaver/endurapro case as the model).

I was never entirely sure why the Endurapro/Spacesaver had that thing sticking out of the back of it. Maybe they can remove it whilst getting rid of the numpad? :D

I'm tempted to finally learn photoshop just so I can crank out dream-unicomps. ;)

Well, I modeled it after the old Toshiba 486 laptops, which supported a snap-on trackball on the side of the keyboard.

That's my favorite layout of all the keyboards I use. I own a black one and an ivory one. I wore out the black one (some keys, such as space bar, now have to be POUNDED to register) so I went looking and found a white one missing the ball for $5 USD.

Those clamp on trackballs were a pain in the ass to carry and set up, but the transition from a DOS laptop to a Windows laptop required it for me. Ah, CGA graphics. It all comes back to me.

Before my 7th term at university, I bought a bunch of 486 laptops and cannibalized what I could; I decided my typing was better than my handwriting so it seemed a smart way to take notes.

I ended up alternating between a Dual DC-4000 with 12M memory (notable for taking desktop-style 72-pin SIMMs and having a socketed CPU) running OS/2 3.0 with a 5x86-133 upgrade in it (it was likely originally a DX-33 or DX2-66.  When I bought it, someone had stuck a 3.3v DX4-100 CPU in, which had minor heat issues considering the machine probably ran at 5v default), and a Toshiba T1950CT (486DX2/40) with 20M (nice screen, snap-on-trackball) running FreeDOS and GEM (too slow for the OS/2 pack-in wordprocessor to keep up).

Finally, for my last term, I spent $300 of scholarship money for an IBM 385XD (PII-266, 32M memory I upgraded to 96) which ran Slackware and eventually obtained an 802.11b card for that wireless network which had just rolled out.

The Thinkpad just died last year (a fault code listed as fan-related, and replacing any part on a machine that old, heavy, and thick seemed a poor proposition) so I went with a netbook.
