@[email protected] when I was a kid, there was a guy in my home town who’d dropped a V8 into a Pinto. It was an infamous sleeper that nobody ever wanted to race against twice. Tiny car, huge engine. Unsafe at any speed, but especially at extreme speeds. I know this wasn’t the assignment, but I can’t see “Pinto” without thinking of that ugly little rocket bean.

@[email protected] The Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic has something like 2.5 key rollover, on a good day. It drops keypresses when I try to type something like “df -h” too quickly.

I guess rollover problems make it the 1990s Ford Explorer with Firestone tires, of keyboards?

@[email protected] also I still like my model F switches better than the model M.

@[email protected] that butterfly laptop keyboard that Apple put in laptops?

@[email protected] the Atari 400 keyboard gets you where you want to go, with finger cramps. At least it never exploded it when you accidentally rear-ended it.

@[email protected] If the Model M is the Cadillac, then the Model F must be the Land Rover Series II.
