Where did "RUN" go?

The company that made them claimed they were banners, but the packaging claimed they were flags. Either way, the extra stars were wrong.

Probably 57, for the 57 states where Obummer campaigned.

If Model-Ts were made in Lexington Kentucky, perhaps.

They don't work.

We could add P.R., and break Mexico into six states. ;-)

keyboards,

I haven't tried one, but I have a couple used ones laying around. One handles a keyboard & mouse.

I've used plenty to go the other way, though.

You missed the smiley?

Yeah, but do they weigh 6 or 7 pounds, and do the key-caps come off so you can put them in the washing machine?

I've got a Belkin dual PS/2 to USB converter so you can use your old mouse as well. Funny thing is that the Intel motherboards I've tried them on don't like them. Other than that they seem to work OK.

That's nothing! He said he saved the auto industry, solved unemployment and fixed health care!

Ford, too!

Sure, the deficit will be paid off by all those people claiming unemployment insurance, too.

Didn't think one was needed on my comment. Sorry.

The Unicomp keyboards are essentially newly minted IBM Model-Ms. They got the patents and production equipment, I think. Yes, the key caps are removable (I'm missing the ESC key top on this one).

ThinkPads don't like them either.

No. You didn't see it on my post. :)

There's a reason they're called 'Escape' keys. :)

I might still have a couple dead ones buried in the shop.

That's 'cos it's in the corner gets knocked off during careless handling, I bought three of these over ten years ago, kept the best and gave away others.

Now I wish I kept one more ;)

Yes, I've read the replacement keyboard is available for ~US$75 or 80, cost a bit more to get one shipped to AU though. Glad a couple 300R resistors got this one going -- it uses a 6805 microcontroller, next step would be to regenerate 5V supply (sepic reg) from whatever 5V gets down the lead, but not needed :) Maybe Intel mobo got polyswitch instead of fuse in 5V line?

Grant.
