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.
 
"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.
