Sigh ...

... my dear old model M keyboard is heading for the trash.

I dug it out when going through my things just now, and I just had to connect it and at least confirm its state.

Unfortunately, its brokenness is still true. Shift and control just will not respond, no matter what I do. But I am typing everything but capital and special letters on it right now, and it feels just as wonderful as ever.

Sigh ... good bye old friend. I miss you already. Typing is not the same without you (something everyone agrees with, no matter what they think of the noise produced).

IBM model M on bottom, puny girlie man Apple aluminium keyboard on top.

There is no other way to say this, but compared to this awesome power, Apple truly makes puny girlie men keyboards.

I would take another one in a heartbeat, and even quicker if it came with a Windows/command key. One can dream ...

So, if you want to adopt a broken yet wonderful keyboard, have another one to donate or, even better, are able to repair one, give me a call or something. Preferably quickly.
