So $2000 for an IBM keyboard.
That's about a 50% discount from what IBM used to charge for them in the 70's isn't it?

It was a very productive time for him. He produces his first 5 movements in just one morning...

Ah yes Bethoven's 5th, that was a good movement.
Can't remember was that a Minor or Major movement?

That's the one that starts off with "DUMP DUMP DUMP DUMP" isn't it?

I quite fancy one of these[^], but it's been God-only-knows how long since I've needed a new keyboard.

I'm still clinging to my first HP keyboard from '98. I've had this keyboard for my entire 20+ year career. Lately, I've got a few keys that have started sticking...time for a bi-annual deep cleaning...maybe I can get a few more years out of it!

The seller has only one other product[^], which is just as much of a bargain, but it's a shame because I was hoping to get a second-hand Amstrad keyboard for under 5k.

I used one of those... About 30 years ago, when I was programming in PL/1 on an IBM mainframe using the ISPF environment. I was developing a CCITT Group 3 image decompressor - strange how some things stick in your head...
And after that, I started using VAX/VMS - and DEC had good keyboards as well... It wasn't until I started using PCs in the late 90s that keyboard quality was something that I noticed - because they all had dreadful dome switch keyboards... I use my Filco Majestouch (brown Cherry MX switches) exclusively now...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Me: Maybe I'm just too demanding? 
Therapist: We've been over this before...
Me: Or maybe I'm just like my father, too bold? Or maybe I'm too cold? Or could it be that I'm just like my mother? She's too sensitive and never knew.....
Therapist: Get out
