Model M - incoming @ clickykeyboards.com
« on: Wed, 21 August 2013, 12:24:54 »
For those of you looking for a Model M and who don't mind paying a premium price, clickykeyboards.com has announced that they have 68 kilos of Model Ms awaiting testing and cleaning.

Before you get excited, that is really only about 30-40 of them, but that should satisfy at least part of the current demand.
"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

I doubt that fast.  They have a bunch in stock right now.

Their prices tend to be on the higher side.

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

I don't think that clickykeyboards cares much about Model Fs.

It seems all the pictures they take seem to accentuate some shiny caps. I'm not sure if it's just their pictures or if they are shiny or not...

Agreed, I've talked with them about it in the past.
