Review of the Model M-Inspired Unicomp Customizer Keyboard

ThousandStars writes "I wrote a review of the Unicomp Customizer Keyboard, which is a modern version of the IBM and then Lexmark Model M much beloved by nerds and hackers. The pros of the Customizer: it's sturdy, remarkably similar to the Model M, has great tech support, and uses a USB interface. Oh, and it's Mac-friendly. The cons: at $69 it's somewhat expensive, and its noise won't be music to your cubemate's ears." Note: this is one of the very, very few buckling-spring keyboards you can get new these days, instead of prowling through thrift stores, eBay, and university dumpsters.

Sometimes internet, you really suck.

Wow, you're right! I looked up "internet" on the internet and it does indeed suck.

The Internet is a complex system made of, but not limited to, a series of tubes, telegraph wires, pony expresses, hobo signs, tortoise shells, and smoke signals. It was originally built by Al Gore to distribute pornography and is owned, operated and monitored by the Illuminati. It is mostly used for access to porn, theme songs, ultra-porn, and cans of spam. It was originally designed to accumulate the knowledge of mankind, and by learning and sharing the newly synthetized knowledge generate singularity. But it turned out to be much more effective in accumulating and amplifying idiocy, creating a being not known before: the troll. Behold! The end is near! Bow down before your alien overlords!

This offtopic flaming pile of dogshit brought to you by the internet. One more comment that truly sucks.

"No Karma Bonus" checked for accuracy. "Post Anonymously" not checked, but polka-dotted. If the internet isn't your overlord, why does the button say "submit"?
