I'll recommend some modern keyboards that are suitable for your retrokit - I'm a big fan of Unicomp keyboards myself, though they do not do N-key rollover, if that is something important to you. Their lighter shade (they call it 'white') is more of a grey than a beige.

You may also consider USB keyboards that can handle P/S2 protocol with use of an adapter (not all of them can do this very well). I have a WASD keyboard for my modern PC that I sometimes also use with my older machines. I would recommend them, but they appear to be out of business.

This is an old article. I believe the original seller already depleted their stock. There's a lot of good components in them for tinkerers and some folks still have interest in recreating the original services. I bought one while they were still being sold cheap, the things really were just like brand new

Until LaRose is gone, every referendum is going to have fucked language.

It's the Lilac color scheme that really makes it - we had that on my family's first PC and classic Win UIs don't look quite right to me without it.

Had to hit pause on it this week, but recently I have been working through Final Fantasy IX, the PC remaster on Steam w/ Moguri Mod. Started my playthrough in early September, and I just got the boat and entered the grindy minigame hell portion of the game.

I dunno that it's going to make vinyl less popular, but it's definitely going to be less accessible. Charging fees on shipping costs is wild.

Athens is a little bit outside my normal range but having lived in Appalachian Ohio my entire life I can say you see the same attitudes everywhere here.

He wasn't imprisoned for 30+ years. He got 7 years and was out after 5. He was, in his own words, 'locked up in [his mind]' for 30+ years.

if it's worth 2100 miles and a border crossing to you, you can have it, haha

Referring more to the people talking about how it's such a good deal. I think $10 is pretty close to what it cost to buy from the shuttered Blockbuster a decade ago, haha.

Wait are these worth something? I have one of these I have been wanting to throw away.
