I was too lazy to clear off my desk, that and I was fixin to leave for work. That, and if you cant tell, I'm living in an unfinished basement.

Edit:
That beamer's my current daily driver. I rotate between that, my pingmaster and f107. Most utilitarian kbs, I love them. Fyi, not just trying to show off.

Nice calculator!  :thumb:  Oh yeah and the beamspring is nice too. :D

Be sure to read the description--there's rivers that fell off the back!  :))

I completely feel you on the tkl too.  My ssk just sits in its box since I always need the numpad too.

Only real men use RPN.

By the way, thanks. Samsung's autocorrect is abominable.

"Up for auction is a Model M SSK"

"How much for the beamer?"  :))

I know I'm going to sound ignorant, but what is RPN?

You're welcome.  I'd hate to see your listing mixed up with the scammer-types with bad English in their descriptions.   :cool:

True, but I've had about 9 offers and 7 of the potential bidders pm me asking specifically about the condition of the SSK, so I'd say I am safe.

I was looking at that very page not 5 minutes ago, and thinking, "This guy's slick, pulling in the KB nerds who think they may snag a beam spring for that kind of dough." Because naturally, when they see a photo like that, that's all they see.

But now I know it's one of you guys, and I realize you're just being enthusiasts—providing a historical backdrop, if you will. Okay then.
