Title: IBM First Aid Kit 453693 for Model M
Post by: JP on Wed, 26 December 2018, 16:12:22

From the seller: "you need to have this on hand when working on your 5150 IBM computer.  There are alot of sharp metal edges when repairing your computer.  Keep on hand if your fingers cramp while typing on your model M clicky."

Haha not so sure this would treat Model M related injuries. Funny enough I see this was already posted in the 'Not So Great Finds' section by another member.

Yup, posted here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90939.msg2695450#msg2695450) on Sunday.

Not-So-Great Finds (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90939.0) is probably the best place for eccentric items like this, while Great Finds is usually for stuff people might actually want to, you know, buy.

Anyway, I'm just saying, mostly because I don't have anything better to do. Cheers mate!
