I don't think this is buckling spring, maybe alps (if not domes)?

Drool!

I think that was my first keyboard, I bought a "PC's Limited AT" IBM clone in August 1985 and my order was initialed by Micheal Dell who might have actually assembled the thing in his lair (~$2900 with monochrome monitor and not including printer).

My keyboard configuration memory is foggy and it was probably not a buckling spring, because it died about 1991-92 and I had trouble replacing it with something else that had function keys on the left which I desired even then!

Somewhere around the mid-1990s, a couple of years after "upgrading" to a hand-me-down 80486 running DOS 5x from my brother-in-law, I gave away the entire "PCs Limited" system including an Epson dot-matrix printer (that is the piece that I really wish that I still had!) to a pitiful "client" at work who promptly cancelled his contract and vanished.

In mid-1998 my employer gave me a fresh clean Dell system with Windows and it all went to **** from there ....

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
