This video tests the myth that a Model M keyboard can be used to kill a
man and you can still type on it afterwards.
Model M vs
Zenith Bull—Keyboard Carnage
While the proper designation is the Model M keyboard, I know them
as the “IBM PS/2 keyboard” and it's the only keyboard I use on my
computers.
And yes, they are very tough.
About the only keyboard tougher than the IBM PS/2 keyboard is the original
IBM PC 84-key keyboard—forget the high impact plastic, this keyboard
was made of metal!
But alas, you can't use those on modern machines, so the next best thing
are the PS/2 keyboards.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
