Why use something like that when there's Opera?

Opera came later.

Yeah, but you're still using something like that today...

When I used SuSE, I had Opera and all the orther browsers installed. In these days youn had to test witch everything to make sure the website worked. Nowadays even the Internet Explorer works fine. Why should I bother to install Opera when I can live with Firefox?

BTW: What makes Opera the better browser for you?

I was more refering to the fact that for whatever reason you are turning all the cool stuff in your browser off.


Also Opera is super fast.

I like the add-ons for Firefox, like NoScript. I just don't like things come with too much fluffy stuff. What really counts, is the content of a site.

This is a very good example:
http://www.kenrockwell.com/
Very simple, content is everything!

Call Ken Rockwell retarded and stuck in 1995, but this is a very readable and informative website, whithout the need to switch off annoying stuff.

PS: Hope I don't draw you away from the keyboards! Collecting photo gear is much more expansive.

I have an Olympus e-620 + FL50 flash, that's all I ever need...

I have a Cherry G83-6104 and a Logitech-ball mouse, that's all I ever need...



ps: 225 to go.

The FL 50 is actually a decent flash

Are you getting excited yet?

Do those IBM keycaps fit the cherry MXs?

You would have to mod them to fit. There is a guide on how to on geekhack. If the winner of this wants something Cherry'ish, I'm sure I can find something too

Nope, I'm afraid not. We had a bunch of Cherry keys at deskthority hq, but the Koreans sneaked in into the middle of the night and stole them.

These are out hq btw, we're neighbors of trulyergonomic keyboards.

I will DEFINITELY take you up on that!

(If I can find something)

He means well, for a while there he came off as a troll. But I can appreciate the way he supports a wide variety of gear. There IS something to be said about being able to read a good review of a lens that might be frowned upon in other circles just because it isn't the ABSOLUTE best. I think the photographic community as a whole has become far too full of itself and it's toys. Take the kit lens for any camera maker today, a true artist will make pictures with it that most only dream about.

Are you getting excited yet?

Gettin' there. Needs moar spam!

very much so! oh the suspense... i'm going to bite my tongue!

Still confused as to WHAT that is that comes with the KBC Poke-Her board. Whatever it is, it's sexy

A reminder that spending money on keyboards doesn't get you laid.

Depends. If you're a true keyboardlover, you get laid every day

Who was it that posted the legendary "just had sex with my topre" thread at geekhack? Those boxers on the bed still haunt me at night.
