very strange terminal keyboard

Beckman terminal keyboard... seems to be a very unusually customized WY85 or similar... if you've always wanted that special keycap with a 'URINE' legend, don't miss your chance!

Finally, my "bodily fluids" keycap collection will be complete!

Actually, the keycaps on this unit are less...er, yellowed.

Though on the downside, you have to buy the entire machine.

Apparently a standard keyboard adapted to a very special clinical machine. Keys have been installed only for the purposes of that machine. Today, I think someone would adapt a POS keyboard instead.

Such a damn shame that these caps are not buckling-spring compatible.
"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."
