Model M birthday
« on: Sat, 07 February 2015, 23:10:29 »
So

I have been keeping an eye out for a Model M from my birthday with no luck. Well this got me thinking did they manufacture model M's on weekends as well as weekdays? I am thinking that they probably didn't have a 24/7 operation and as it turns out my birthday happens to have fallen on a Sunday in 1989. Anyone have any thoughts?

I wouldn't be surprised if a company that size (especially how big it was in the 80s) was open 24/7

I have done a quick survey on clickly keyboards and am yet to find a weekend born keyboard except for the M-13 which was a Saturday and assembled in Mexico. But this was only like 10 boards

I would have thought it would be a 24/7 operation also, but I don't know anything about union/trade/religious rules governing working hours in the US in 1989 and it is this that makes me think that there may have been some sort of blocker for working Sunday. But its just a conspiracy at this stage.

If demand does not demand it, it is good to close a factory one day a week for maintenance, clean-up, etc.

I have only had 2 factory jobs, briefly, both in the 1970s, but they generally stopped working from about noon on Saturday until Monday morning.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I think that it may have been a widespread practice to avoid Sunday work. I have found a few Saturday boards now, but still no Sunday. Looking over the spreadsheets on clicklykeyboards at least for the 87-90 era it is getting more and more likely that Sunday was a no keyboard manufacture day.
