Best IBM Model F
« on: Thu, 11 April 2019, 10:23:19 »
I am wondering which model F i should get if i am purely looking for quality and have an unlimited budget. I am fine with using older models that would require an adapter.

Quality is hard to define. A majority of people think that the XT has the best feel, but the layout is abominable.

Others would attribute the highest quality to the metal cases of the 4700 line.

Personally, I would vote for an ANSI-modded 122-key terminal if you can take a large keyboard or an ANSI-modded (including Alt keys) AT if you want a small one.

Trump’s behavior is so bizarre, so unhinged, and so counter to his short-term interests that the most likely explanation for his actions is that Trump either believes or knows that he is mentioned in the Epstein files in ways that are even more damaging than the blowback he is getting for not releasing the files."
