I almost got smokehouse instead, but I'm happy with it.

A 32 minute sale - congrats MMB :)

Up there with the best of 'em.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

yeah I felt the same, on the other hand you can''t blame them ^^ it's our fault not to live in America :P I mean I can understand why iut came out at that hour.

I see them become the new "click clack" seeing the price and the bit of time to be sold out. (maybe it's also just because I find it awesome ^^)
