Do-It-Yourself Steampunk Keyboard
An anonymous reader writes "Who said there's no use for your old IBM "M Series" keyboards anymore? This creative fellow shows us step by step how to convert the keyboards of yesteryear into keyboards of an even further distant, fictional time. H. G. Wells would be proud."

Only problem is my neighbors complain of the noise"

I perked up when I saw the ol' Model M. Got a couple lying around, and I've been using the same one for the last 10 years or so. But this! Drill press?! Band saw?! What is this, shop class? Sounds like a hardware problem, boyo. Not my department.

I spent my time harassing the teacher by writing BASIC programs on the Apple ]['s that made the computer beep and pause and repeat. Installing it on 25 computers to go "BEEP" all the way around the room and then start over again was fun until I got an hour of detention for each computer.
The only thing I learned in that class was that programming in BASIC sent you to detention.
As well it should.

From the article: 'The skirt removal was kind of tricky,'. Well, you could of course get out of your basement, get a girlfriend (or if desparate, hire one) and practice. Remember to whisper sweet nothings into her ear first though.
