Title: So I dreamed about a Model M
Post by: NOMiS on Mon, 05 April 2010, 03:38:50

It was about a month ago, but ever since I've wanted a Model M pretty badly. I don't have any money though, so I haven't bought one. Recently I've had another dream about owning one, and even one of my trying one. This seems kind of odd (well maybe not to geekhackers) but I feel the need to possess one.

There's a cheap one here (http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-IBM-KEYBOARD-P-N-42H1292-WORKING_W0QQitemZ370356710598QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Mice_Trackballs?hash=item563afaecc6#ht_2319wt_1167)

Woops: Didn't notice it had a missing key. You can get spare keys easily enough though, people around here have spares.

Seeing as not only do I not have any money, but negative amounts (just flew to Montreal for a tournament), I can't afford that. It'll probably end up costing me +30$, since I'm in Canada.

Though I will have one eventually, I just can't now. D:

Hey, somebody just bought the $15 one. (http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-IBM-Model-M-Keyboard-PS-2-04-05-93-Blue-Logo_W0QQitemZ310210768062QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Mice_Trackballs?hash=item483a00acbe)

And I thought you guys would all be too cheap.

Shipping killed the deal...

You know, in America they call the Royale a Quarter Pounder with Cheese...

You know why they call it that?
