Re: inept customer service

On 2009-08-12, Brian Kantor <brian@xxxxxxxx> bent the will
of the universe to say:
I collect Northgate Omni-Key 101s for the days when I need one to repair
another. That may be excessive caution; the one I'm typing this on is
still working perfectly after 20-something years.
- Brian

I have an original Model M... literally old enough to drink now, and all
it's needed is the keys scrubbed on occasion. When people ask why I don't
get a Shiny New keyboard at work, I tell them, "I prefer a keyboard I can
beat someone to death with, then write their obituary with."
