R.I.P. Model M
I just retired my IBM Modem M
keyboard. I rescued it myself from my old high school, and popped off
every keycap and cleaned them individually with a toothbrush.
Unfortunately, someone who I live with obtained for me this Logitech
Cordless Freedom keyboard/mouse set for Christmas. I like my old Model
M’s noise, but I also like having the extra shortcut keys on the top of
the keyboard. The cordless optical mouse is nice too — I just can’t
figure out why sometimes, when I leave it alone, the LED on the bottom of
the mouse flashes in time with my SCSI bus activity light. Anyways, it
was a lovely gift. But if I happen to break this keyboard (which I have
done before — I am hard on keyboards) the Model M is coming out again.
