How much is that in real money?
The Euro was initially created at a value of 1 Euro = 1 U.S. Dollar. However, the exchange rate has drifted upwards, so a Euro is today worth somewhat more than a U.S. Dollar.

If in doubt, ask US eBay.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

None of the Euro coins are exact to the gram in weight.

This amuses me greatly.

I'm amused that the standard unit of mass is not a unit, but a Kilo-unit. (Kilogram)

Edit> I should have known. It was those stroppy French gits again. Not content with destroying their own economy with riots, they had to break physics as well:

Quote
The decision of the Republican government to name this new unit the “kilogramme” had been mainly politically motivated, because the name “grave” was at that time considered politically incorrect as it resembled the aristocratic German title of the Graf, an alternative name for the title of Count that, like other nobility titles, was inconsistent with the new French Republic notion of equality (égalité)[4]. Accordingly, the name of the original, defined unit of mass, “gramme”, which was too small to serve as a practical realisation, was adopted and the new prefix “kilo” was appended to it to form the name “kilogramme”. Consequently, the kilogram is the only SI base unit that has an SI prefix as part of its unit name.

Significantly less than when I would have imported it new.

The keyboardco is no good for me since they won't be putting out the layout I want.

I imagine sugar laden energy drinks are also a no.

Keyboards don't like that either.

Only drink 100% alchohol and you'll be fine.


I think that isn't too healthy option, have to drink quite fast so it don't have time to turn wet ;D
So I should add something useless here yes? Ok, ok...

First impressions:

Very tight board, keys don't shimmy at all.

I'm not sure I leek the keyfeel better than my filco brown.

This one has the CTRL in place of CAPS, I'll leave it that way for a while to see if I can get used to it. Pinky training.

It really is as new and cost me less than the Filco I imported.

It's not really as new after all, there is a small crack in the case on the left side.

Too bad I already gave feedback in my initial extacy, it is however tolerable.

new is sometimes overrated

I think that goes for keyboards just like it goes for cars.

Other times it's vital. Would never buy a used PC for example...

Nice find either way, used or not and should give u pleasure for a long time.

Hartelijk gefeliciteered :D
Het lijkt me dat er meer toetsenboarden te vinden zijn op nederlandse ebay dan op duitse ebay, klopt dat?
En niet blouwen als je aan het toetsenboard zit! Geen goie idee :D

Thx.

No, certainly not the mechanical kind.

'Blowen' is for tourists :p

Oh I do remember :D

I decided to grow up and stop doing that a few years ago.

I'd hate to be one of those guys who still smoke pot in their 30s, nobody respects those.

lol, I NEED that movie hahaha

have to watch the original big lebowsky again too, aaah the memories ^^

on stoning at higher age: Well if it's kind of a daily ritual like for many I think the "no one respects those" is spot on.

But I think I would prefer to be smoking pot once in a while on a party or during holidays then drinking. I just prefer it over drinking and see how it is nice to get high once in a while. I just don't like to get high on booze, weed is more fun and you still function. Don't try to hit on your girlfriend's best friend and try to smash in car windows or **** like that :)
