Informer 207 terminal – beautiful KB
« on: Tue, 08 March 2016, 03:33:03 »
I don't know if this is a Great Find, so don't rag on me if it's not.

I just think it's a beautiful keyboard, with some of the nicest DS caps I've seen in a long time, and I couldn't stand not showing to anyone! It seems like it's in really nice condition for its age, too.

Man, people really cared how buttons looked back then, didn't they?  :?)

Almost coffee colour!

You don't see many portable terminals.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

That is a nice color scheme.

Do you think the space bar is supposed to sit that high?

I'm not sure who had them made but I've seen SP SA crap bag caps with this color scheme before.

Thanks for not just criticizing me for posting this. Again, I have no idea of its actual value, and it's obviously not at a bargain "I'll just buy it" price. But since it also happened to be something for sale, it seemed more appropriate to post it here than in the Keyboards section.

It's very nice, elegant even. The space bar is completely bizarre though Oo .
