I'd be worried about finding used panties under the keys, they do sell them in vending machines like chips.

The used panty rumor is urban legend and patently false based on three weeks of research in Japan by my son and I.  Yes, he was tasked by his classmates to buy one of these.


Snopes disagrees.  Apparently it was made illegal in 1993, but some kept going.

@ripster: Keeping the Topre keychain in case I lose a spring (I am messing with the membranes again) :) .

Haven't called up Unicomp regarding the Mini as I have beem busy setting up my new water cooling setup. I'll call and hit up John @ Unicomp tomorrow. BTW, the urban legend is real. They are available at all the local ****houses. You just have to ask nicely and spot the ladies a few extra yen.

Well most of the stuff is in the same place except 2 has " and 7 has ' as well as parenthesis being shifted over one among other things...the separate : key sure does make smilies easy though haha
