last time I check this place was not under a totalitarian regime.

It's nice.  We just broke free from ours.

Actually Ripster, I don't mind the jokes at all. I'm always looking for opportunities to laugh. It does not take much to get me laughing happily. Isn't laughter the best medicine?

My son just tells me I'm annoying.  Wait until you have a teenager!


Don't we all think we know better than anyone when we are teenagers? I have a few years to go before this happens. Will I be 100% prepared? No. But I like to think about it this way. I'm in the ocean now, like it or not, I have to swim.

From a cost/quality standpoint, the G80-3000 at Gemini reigns supreme for Cherry-based 'boards.  If was going to check out a blue Cherry 'board, this would be the one.

Anyone following this the product code is G80-3000LSCRC-2. Other vendors APPEAR to be carrying it but call first. I can't imagine this being a standard stock item (Chinese Lettering for the US market?) so they will eventually run out.

They have run out of stock several times and get it back in stock, so it might be a regular stock item. It might not have been originally intended for the US market, but I guess it is selling so well that they keep restocking it.
