Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Buy a Model-M and don't look back. Things are built tough.
Plus vintage models were designed for folks that coded in C/C++. So you know they're up to the task. ;)
The factory in Kentucky that used to make them was bought out by the employees when IBM stopped doing them and still makes new buckling-spring keyboards, so you can get new ones.
Called Unicomp.

They do have a nipple mouse variant ("EnduraPro") with mouse buttons. I have one, and I don't recommend that. The buckling spring keys are as good as the day I got it, but I eventually wore out the mouse buttons, and I've no idea whether they've moved to new switches for the mouse buttons.
Thanks for sharing the link, you're a gem!
