Help me identify.
« on: Sun, 11 September 2011, 10:18:00 »
Alright guys, this is going to need a little context, but here goes.

Firstly, I'm unsure of how many of you know what Minecraft, I'm going to assume the majority of you.

Anyway, I trawl through the developer's(Notch) blog sometimes and I came across a picture that he posted of his office.

Can anyone identify it for fun?

I'm pretty sure it's either a Model M or some sort of Unicomp.

Anyway, has fun. :wof:

You ruin everything, gosh. But, yes. Caves are quite fun to spelunker in the odd cave.

Looks like a Unicomp to me; no IBM logo on upper left, and the area around the status LEDs looks Unicompish.  I suppose it could be any number of similar looking keyboards, as that's a common color/size/form factor of keyboards of the 80's but I will stick with my original guess that it's actually a Unicomp Customizer 101



Edit: dammit, Ripster beat me while I was looking for a better pic of one.  Finally I gave up and stole the one off Unicomp's web site, which still sucks.

That edit makes me laugh. Seems like FIRST is important.

If they ban you, then you're right 100% of the time. If they don't ban you, then you were wrong in this post and you don't need to be banned.

Google image search for "Notch" "Model M" and you will find a picture of an IBM Model M in the blog of some game developer who calls himself Notch. ...

Unicomp Customizer.   I can recognized that fugly logo anywhere.


When I ordered my Spacesaver a year ago (more, actually) I asked them to remove the logo, and for an additional $5 they printed the LED legend with no logo, and a really tidy arrangement of the symbols. Looks so much nicer. It's like going back in time to a more glorious age before the evils of mass production. Should have asked for red LEDs as well :P

Too bad they can't simply devise a more subtle label for everyone, but since even Topre can't design a label to save their lives I guess I can't expect too much. Hell, Topre can't even pick a consistent font width for the Insert/Home/... cluster. Not too bad a switch though – need to get my 105UB over to my workplace where I can give it a proper test. I tried using it on my pessimal desk at home, and it felt way too much like a regular rubberdome, but my desk sucks. Even XM is almost usable at work, 90° elbow angle and all that.

Dang, wish I had thought of that before I ordered mine.

That little orange one is for Swedbank login anyway and the other one is some other bank thingie too i think. Nice setup with 4 screens. I wanted 2 screens + tv, but i bought the wrong gfx card :/ (bought nvidia when i should have bought radeon...). Oh and while im off topic, the best logitech mouse from way back when is Model M-BA47 ;) (Mouseman +) Using it a little from time to time still after 11 or so years :) ( Found a pic here: http://www.tcocd.de/Pictures/Peripheral/Logitech/mba47.shtml )
