Hello from Panama!
« on: Thu, 19 December 2013, 22:54:58 »
Hello all! Been a lurker for a while now and thought its time to say hello and start posting! Have been interested in mechanical keyboards for a while now and though that now that I have a KBC Poker ii on the way it's the right moment to start contributing to the place that gave me a wealth of information about something as great as which mechanical keyboard to buy for my first purchase.

After typing on a thinkpad keyboard at home and an apple mini at work I'm super excited to start my "journey" into such a fascinating world that is mechanical keyboards. I'm sure my wallet is in pain right now from the though of the weight loss that it will suffer soon. Being a multiplatform programmer for the last ten years means that my next purchase will certainly be a hhkb, so there goes the moolah!

Anyways, thanks for having an awesome community and well - Hello!

welcome to GH. I have been to this Panama you speak of. You have a very nice canal, and it was very, very hot.
I stay busy with work and family these days, but I'm still around, lurking.

Welcome to GH!

My dad grew up in the Canal Zone and we have family that still lives there. I've visited a few times and it's been quite fun :).

Thank you! Give me a shout out next time you're here and we'll take out keyboards out for a drink!
