I don't think this is buckling spring, maybe alps (if not domes)?

Drool!

I think that was my first keyboard, I bought a "PC's Limited AT" IBM clone in August 1985 and my order was initialed by Micheal Dell who might have actually assembled the thing in his lair (~$2900 with monochrome monitor and not including printer).

My keyboard configuration memory is foggy and it was probably not a buckling spring, because it died about 1991-92 and I had trouble replacing it with something else that had function keys on the left which I desired even then!

Somewhere around the mid-1990s, a couple of years after "upgrading" to a hand-me-down 80486 running DOS 5x from my brother-in-law, I gave away the entire "PCs Limited" system including an Epson dot-matrix printer (that is the piece that I really wish that I still had!) to a pitiful "client" at work who promptly cancelled his contract and vanished.

In mid-1998 my employer gave me a fresh clean Dell system with Windows and it all went to **** from there ....
"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.
