RARE IBM M13 with customized keycaps-starting @ 9.99USD

I couldn't help but let you all know about this when I saw it on Ebay.

It's the kind of thing Clicky Keyboards sells for an arm and a leg.

That is just too strange I like colored key caps but those are just a little too much. But my 7 year old son would love it. I'm going to have to watch that one.

I agree that its a little too wild. I wonder what it was originally meant for?

Even though the ebay seller seems reputable, I have big issues with any auction that devotes 1000 words to their terms and conditions, and just four words about the item. (Eleven if you include the title.)

Maybe video editing or telephone operation.

But yes, they could really be a bit more wordy. It's not like this would be so uncommon, but I don't get it anyway.

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

Actually I wish most did more. I thought it was actually pretty good to have terms spelled out.

Now the EU disclaimer I posted earlier IS a waste of space.



All this for a bag of surplus keys.


Funny, that almost seems more readable than most disclaimers...:lol:
