Model M Mini - here we go again

If I had the $200 to buy it now, I would. It looks like it'll need a good cleaning, judging by the left shift key's bottom.

****...I wish I saw this earlier. I would have been all over it :(

Err...nevermind. I assumed shipping was included. I only have one board (gave my brown to my brother) and I bought enough double shots for three...

Wow, it sold at that price without a word in the description to indicate it was even functional?

ms windows! You're back!

You didn't post much for a few weeks right? Sure was dull here.

Fire up those optiplexes and CRTs and brighten this place up :biggrin:

I'm happy with my two models M Mini...I bought them when it was cheap.
Perhaps it's time to sell one of them.
Too many keyboards....

Very good time to sell. Or gamble and wait more.

I'd rather pay LESS for a regular Model M and get MORE, than pay more for less...

Or better yet, get one for free...
