"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."

Actually not. I had 2, and then I got a third that was truly "new". I sold you the 1st one, this is the 2nd.

The one I sold you was slightly different - the footprint of the case was smaller and I think that yours was PS/2.
Different model number, too, I think - wasn't yours an RT101+?

They are all very close. I had a hard time deciding which one to put up for sale when you bought yours.
This one is just as nice.

Nah, I knew it was different.

I love the board. It's got a click I haven't tried before, and the caps are pleasant to feel when typing.
First time using a small Backspace in two decades; didn't realize how accustomed I've become to the more common ANSI ones...  :-\

That is the killer. I can use a bigass Enter all day, but the 1u Backspace makes me insane.

As far as I know, all Hi-Teks have great PBT dye-sub caps.
