“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”

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.
