Can we call this the "Old Beamspring Photo Thread" or something like that? I really think we need a central place to post old beamspring pictures like this one.

IBM 5252. When video displays were so expensive that two people had to share one. It had one CRT, facing down, and a pair of mirrors so that each user saw half the screen.

Old beamsprings, sold about 4 years ago. These were sold to me as "funky AT" keyboards :-)
