IBM Model M orgy but not actually "great"

“Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

Yeah, isn't that something? It's the Rockettes of Model M's.

I don't think it is clickykeyboards.com if that's what you're asking.

That's what I meant, yes, but it seems Clickity has a similar arsenal too xD .

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Brandon, is that you? Nah, I doubt he'd be selling M's this cheaply.

Actually, $108 doesn't seem like an unreasonable price for a cleaned, tested, guaranteed '401. They can take a lot of time to restore, depending on how long and hard they were used (and how many lunches were eaten over them, LOL).

Who am I? What is 'I'? What is this life? Are we really separate entities? Is there really a 'me' and a 'you'? Or perhaps.... Perhaps we are all connected. Perhaps the web of relationships in our lives ties us together to a greater extent than what we commonly hold as a truth - that truth being that 'I' is unique, separate, isolated... Perhaps there is no 'I' at all in this reality. Is it possible that we are really just one being? Is it possible that we are all 'I'? One essence, one being, one entity, one... Just one. One and the same.

If that's not true then no, I'm not Brandon. But yeah, they're all pretty damn clean!
