Re: Total Destruction Suggestions Requested

I've obviously offended you, Mandarbmax. I'm sorry about that, but I don't understand why you're offended. Go ahead and PM me, if you'd like. No, I think I was pretty clear.

Re: Total Destruction Suggestions Requested

Here's my response to mrprofessor. Using Spoiler tags, as it's a little off topic. inozenz's "group buy" for NIB Space Invader keyboards. As I have no need for 11 keyboards, I posted some on ebay. In my first auction, I had several people trolling my sale saying things like, "Don't charge more than...

My friend in NY comes out ahead on that deal but my friend lives in OR is still confused. how does someone as miserable as yourself have so many friends anyway? something is not adding up here :| Sick burn. You really showed him that $32.99 is a few bucks less than $32.99 when you don't have friends.

Re: First mechanical keyboard questions

I agree completely. The first keyboard I bought was a unicomp classic. Now half a decade, dozens of keyboards, and many hundreds of dollars later I still haven't found anything better. None of those hundreds of bucks went on Model Fs or Topres then, I’m guessing. If not: kiss goodbye to more! :lol:...
