In other news Microsoft bought Unicomp then Google bought Microsoft to gain their cutting edge keyboard technology.

Yep, but at the same time, it's better for my budget right now. Also, with the work of some awesome geekhackers, a custom model F should be possible in a relatively near future.

Ha, if only.  At least IBM recognizes their history in keyboards.

Which no doubt is why their current keyboards are crap by comparison. I've always thought the best (and perhaps only worthwhile) aspect of their 1980's-era PC's was the glorious keyboards that came with them. If they had made their PC's performance-competitive with their fiercest competition (Dell being a good example), they might still be in the PC business and doing well with it.
