It's a pretty sweet keyboard, though it would be sad to cannibalise it when it's part of a working setup.

For $15, I would.  That's like 3 lattes.  I'd pay $15 for the "entertainment value" of futzing around with the thing for a couple of hours...and you might even get more out of it than that if that keyboard is a keeper.

15 dollars also happens to be 75 packs of ramen, just putting that out there. also I contacted him and it turns out that there is no power cord with the thing... more issues.

Pretty sure you'd get more nutrition out of the lattes.  Just putting that out there.

Apple didn't seriously use a custom power cord, did they? There can't be anyone who doesn't have a surplus of kettle leads to throw away.

I had a Mac Classic, and I recall that it had a standard power cable.  I'm going to guess that even if this one doesn't, obtaining a cable wouldn't break the bank...what's another latte or two?

again, that could be like 50 ramen meals! anyways, I'm pretty lazy, so if any other MN folks wanted to pick it up I would not be offended.

Nice one! If it were local, I'd pick it up for the keyboard. Retrobrite + Hasu converter
