HAPPY 10 YR!

[Jadow]

Chrlst Jesus, I realized tonight that 11-2007 is the TEN YEAR birthday of my IBM PS/2 keyboard! Happy birthday baby, I love you.

You were the last generation of of the IBM PS/2 Keyboard ever made, and also the only one with the "Windows key".

Back in '97 when I lived with my parents, spending $75 on a good quality keyboard was nuts, but I went ahead and did it anyways, and guess what, TEN FVCKING YEARS LATER, you're still here!

GOD BLESS IBM

GOD BLESS The United States of America!

its the clicky keyboard right?

 

[Reckoner]

what

 

[Jadow]

you fvckin kids here have no concept. Try livin in "The Time" when 9600 baud was the shlt, and having an IBM keyboard was akin ot having a Ferarri.

I fvcking miss the local comradrarie that having a local BBS had.

1994 > 2007, take me back

I put an old IBM keyboard back in service over a year ago. It's METAL, and the keys click. Works like a champ.

Heh...I remember going from 300 baud to 2400. ZOOM! Everyone would say "But they can't feed you stuff that fast when you dial in!"

I skipped the whole 9600 thing and went straight to 14.4k, then I got a USR 28.8 V.FAST chip. I had to send away for a free upgrade for a snap in v.34 chip.

Shortly after that, the X2/KFlex speed war started. KFlex pretty much won, but was killed by the V.90 standard.

Why did I just give a modem history lesson?

does this keyboard you speak of also have media keys? if so, i have this same board, although i dont think i've ever flipped it over.

 

[Jadow]

Well, you did and I remember all of it, 2400 to 9600 to 14.4 to 28.0 to to 56 to beta testing cable, I was there for all of it my man.

I am using a black Logitech keyboard that I got for $5 shipped a year ago when Newegg was having one of those sales.

I was playing KQ5 with my dad before Logitech was even a company. F-U

My first computer experience was when I started playing with my dad's Tandy 1000 when I was 3 or 4 years old...

But I'll take my C2D @ 2.8GHz any day over that slow 286 :laugh:

hahaha, even if I had to replace my keyboard once a year I'd still have paid less. Oh, and I have KQ5 on cd-rom for Windows 3.1. It was the shit.
