I think this has to be the award for at least the ugliest packing box!

Interesting.
The tiny keys at the top make me think this could actually be an ALPS board.

Could it actually be mechanical?
I think I see traces between the caps...And it's AT...
Cindy do you have the keyboard or just the pics? Pull a cap!

AT with a PS/2 adapter. Not really clicky, but not total mush either. Yes, the AOL CD is still there :-)
Don't think this qualifies as Alps!

If you want Alps, I have a old salmon Dell and an old black Dell. The one with black Alps is missing one cap. The one with salmons has the older (oldest?) style logo.

Interesting. Someone will want the salmon for sure.

Maybe this should be the "rubber chicken" for the secret Santa, but I am not on the list :mrgreen:

Hahaha could you see me type on that... thing for two weeks? Maybe for extra fun I should take it to the office and see my colleagues' jealous looks :p .

I'm pretty sure I could burn it to the ground pretty well if I would though :p .

Ahem, Holy Filco dinosaur.

There's a serious danger I'd want one if it was a Topre dino!

The whole thing is doubleshot. That's how icing works!
