In the least expected places…
… is where you find gold. Looking at the Google Analyzer stats for this blog, I’ve found the blog of an ex-Mac zealot and I’ve started reading the sad, sad story of his relationship with the apple firm. And I’ve found, where I least expected to, something I’ve been looking for a long, long time:
Flickr’s service mandates me to link the image to Flickr. Bleuargh!
Yeah, it’s a keyboard. But, is that any keyboard? Nooo… is one of those older keyboards, made with metal instead of that disgusting plastic membrane, one of those keyboards that when one was furiously typing it looked like the whole roof was going to fall upon you with the klackety-klackety-klack; what became to be known as an IBM Keybooard. Yes, sir, a keyboard of old. A real fucking keyboard, not the little pieces of crap they make today.
Fast as ligthning I’ve readied my ninja-shuriken-credit-card and I’ve ordered a 105 keys model, with the keyboard layout in spanish. If you want more information, they’re avaliable at Pc Keyboard.
Mine arrived promptly, and I absolutely love it. It is exactly as satisfying as I imagined it would be. It makes me want to write, just to hear the rhythm of the klackety-klack. My wife doesn’t understand; to her it’s just noise. It’s not noise, it’s rhythm! She just shakes her head and says, “Boys.” Sigh.
