Anyway, we made kbdfr a moderator because he is so often the voice of reason here on Deskthority. Squabble with him if you wish, but do so while aware that we are most all on his side. ;) He's a moderato r?? Great. "The enemy within". I bet he's checking my IP now and sending his fellow goons to tr...

I’m not overweight, btw, cheeky.

I had an alternate, but it wasn't as funny. (and what's with the feet merging with keyboard shot?)

It seems to be "Scots standing on keyboard".

That's "name-dropping of persons who have aboslutely nothing to do with keyboards extraordinalrily stupid"!!!! Stop it!

Get back to keyboard related stuff, damn it!

[…] I think kbdfr must be a real Fauci fan - probably had a Farrah Fawcett style poster of him on his wall as a kid. I simply find tendentious name-dropping of persons who have aboslutely nothing to do with keyboards extraordinalrily stupid - and commenting idiotic posts is notoriously one of my fa...

You mean... you don't want to see Hitler's computer terminal? You don't want to see Fauci ripping out his own eye socket? Dear dear. What is this world coming to.

It was only after the war that the Allies found out just how much more advanced German computer terminals really were.

I also like the fact that Hitler seems to have 3 arms - something those damn historians deliberately hide from us.

The AI really captures the essence of Fauci. I'm particularly fond of the last image. He's ripping out his eye socket - and yet he's smiling.


Of course, this one is not without its charms:

This is one of Apple's failures - introducing a red squirrel into an already saturated squirrel market.

Yes. I see what you mean. I was very disappointed - I really wanted to see an accurate representation of this:

Obviously AI hasn't been perfected yet.

"You will eat keyboards, and be happy."

I always heard LED was terrible with battery life, but I still haven't had to change the battery. It's now almost three years and I still haven't had to change the batteries on this 1977 Birks LED watch. It's still bright and responsive and keeps time as well as any modern quartz. (or even better) ...

At 0:39, another office woman looks on in jealousy with a look that seems to say, "I wonder who she slept with to get that."

Great Stuff! hahahaha I could totally see myself using that thing for writing down stuff, just for the fun of it. After all these years, that commercial still really sold it to me :lol: I like how they said "a computer that costs so little". It cost US $9,830 in 1981 (including printer). That's $18...

Holy shit! That must be a new beam spring record.

I remember when I missed out on one of these because it went for an insane $390 when I only wanted to pay $250 max. Oh how times change.

I forgot I bookmarked this years ago:

This is weird - a keypad with flat (illuminated?) buttons with strange symbols, made in Switzerland - $32.99 buy it now. s-l1600.jpg https://www.ebay.com/itm/175199428421 The symbols remind me of the ones in Alien. https://typesetinthefuture.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/alien_composite_keyboard.jpg

Mossad? The smart money is on Shin Bet.

Maybe. They seemed like Mossad to me. They broke into my house, tied me up and forced me to watch the 3 hour director's cut of Yentl - all for just questioning why grocery food products have to be blessed by a rabbi.

But you were wearing a suit and tie, right?

I also picked these guys up, and a pc/xt model F (not shown) with the Bezelmaster. https://deskthority.net/download/file.php?id=74525 When you picked that up, did you look like this? IBM ad.JPG Wow, that's the very first buckling spring. I wanted one, but the shipping would have cost 10 times more ...

The FBI has no jurisdiction in my country. (...but I don't know if they know that)

Bah. What can the FBI do to me that the Mossad hasn't already done?

Gotta point out that this guy uses a laptop on top of (what I think is) a couple of stacked books for a display:

It's on top of the Macbook power supply box - which just happened to be the perfect height for beam spring clearance.

But yes, I need more displays.

I love the look of these Victor keyboards. I've been on the lookout for one on the cheap. I have a feeling I'll be waiting a long time. Has anyone here tried the pads from Texelec? Every mention of them I've seen anywhere has testified that they are excellent. I personally haven't used them, but th...

Our little red squirrels are angry bastards. Just take a look at this guy in my living room:

(pity there's no embedded Bitchute)

If anybody has ever wondered which wood squirrel has tested the most keyboards in history (...but who the hell would?) I must say that the record has been broken - again! This frigging guy here, "dishwasher guy #2" little guy eating on chair.JPG ..so named because he found a way to enter the house u...

Serious good or serious bad, have luck my old rival. And whatever you do, don't let those squirrels win! Serious bad , my friend. It's coming - this winter. It has been planned for decades . I see the plan. (..."I see plans within plans"... sorry, Dune quote) Hopefully, I'm wrong, nothing will happ...

That's hilarious and concerning at the same time. Sounds like he could really damage something if he wanted to. Better teach him about the current value of all this stuff next time you catch him red-handed. It's difficult to get angry at him because he always looks up at me with innocent stares. Ev...
