Mind if I ask what the damage was to your wallet?

The wallet got raped.

At least you have a cool board

Next time at least ask the wallet for consent

Yes, definitely worth what I paid.

I'm just feeling a bit bad because I got the board through Buyee while I had a friend in Japan. Asking him to proxy could have saved me around 30-40% of the overall price (packaging, shipping, import taxes)... When I bought the board I thought he wasn't in Japan anymore. Big fail.

Yeah well, I did everything to make it smooth and avoid taxes: marked as gift, slow shipping, etc. Just didn't work. Bad luck I guess.

Or at least take it out for a drink before...you know

Really nice! Congrats.

Oh, is that a ho?

Yissssss!

BS no less?

Yissssssssssssss

Yummy!

Much evilish.

I wonder why the hell I didn't post on that topic.

Love those caps!
Is it common for Cherry sets to come with CTRL like that? I have only seen that used in the Triumph Adler GB before.

The only boards I've really seen it on are Olivetti boards like that one, the original TA boards, and funnily enough a G80-31XXHAG (e.g 3112) (yes, G80 not G81).

Great pics! I love your 'dark' phase

Thanks Madhias

It's very convenient.. Just putting the keyboards on my desk and holding my monitor (with a white screensaver) above it

This is the non- Cherry real deal IMO:

[quote="Madhias" post_id=273096]Wife and the 14 kids are not at home. Time to make some pictures! I have to admit that the layout of the HHKB is fighting with me. I really have to get used to it, probably I should exchange it with the Realforce at work - but working without cursors make me get angry even when I think of it! F-row would be somewhat OK, but is easier to get used to for me.


These are really excellent photos. Love your lighting.

snoopy, you're Kishaver madness is hardcore enough, and now clacks in a lego BTF Delorean with DocBrown? Is that was this is? But it's a cool picture though.

There's a danger that a good crop of that one will make a great site header!

Let me see what I can do. And while were at it have a look in our header thread Mu I posted some updates, one has potential I think.

yes, that's what it is. clack in time!

cc did a bttf themed sale last year. There even was a flux keypacitor.

The clack is a conduit grey and was part of the sale. I thought a pic in the delorean would be funny.

It is. But the camera's too close to make a good header crop out of it. Reshoot from further back!

My first mech:



Thank you mrksprvn for the case and thank you shreebles for the set.
