While I was reading up on the Leading Edge Model D (the computer that the DC-2014 keyboard came with) I found a review that compared several IBM PC clone systems to each other. It featured some pretty damn cool art if you ask me, thought I'd share:

See the review here: https://books.google.nl/books?id=z-MDAA ... e&q&f=true

Note how the first thing they say of the Model D is how good its keyboard is, the best of the ones tested in the review. Looks like I'm not the only blue Alps fan ;D .

Lol I've never seen 'USB' made to look so damn retro. It's hard to believe that it's over 20 years old now.
Cool pics -- I bet that flayed man is feeling very comfortable on his ergonomic keyboard.
