All I know is that I just bought a selectric for $50 and I'm pumped. I'll pretend the keycaps are green, RGB backlit, and the caps massage my tired fingers. I'll save the remainder of my paypal balance for things that really matter in life (like video game skins). I just did this exact thing last m...

(Side-note: I acquired the contents of an S100 engineer's lab and have a metric-f-ton of S100 computers/cards/8" floppies/docs/etc that I need to re-home) ...

I think this sums up the OP's question, when will the bubble burst? Being a long time collector in the...

Shiny blue keys mixed with flat black keys on the 3278 keyboard look inconsistent to my eye, although the blue keys are indeed cool.
