it's my keyboard's 30th birthday today, give him booosts! 
@babe happy birthday mr keyboard!
@stfn @babe happy birthday! Here's to another 30 🥳
@babe I remember those keyboards, they were awesome. Does yours have the DIN plug? If so how do you connect it in the world of USB?
@babe what will you do to celebrate? Esc to the Space Bar to get Shift-faced?
@babe oh no I just missed my keyboards birthday! We’ll have to throw a party next year.
@th @babe I missed mine's birthday too! I'm a Bad Dad. ☹️
@mike @th Well welcome to the keyboard party thread anyway!
@th oooh Spacesaver ... would love to have one of those, but decided on a Beamspring due to budget limits.
@th
Absolutely gorgeous, she's a beauty!
Are you left-handed?
I've been contemplating buying that exact trackball, are you happy woth how it works?
@babe , well looked after, deserves a boost.
@babe Happy Birthday to the president's vice!
@babe I have one of those! You've inspired me to dig it out and use it as my daily driver.
@babe I've always wondered, how stiff are the keys to type on these model M keyboards ? 🤔
@kim @babe 70-80g, although the response curve is much different than Cherry style switches.

@babe Happy Birthday! 🥳

🎂

@babe with a ps/2 to usb converter, is perfect for writing on the fediverse!

@babe
it's an IBM, so, ok cool!  
make it 50 ⌨️

try to switch keyboards frequently,
every other year or so. ott & weird i know, just feels cleaner.
my fave cherry being discontinued doesn't help.
🐺

@babe i love those keyboards! Give it a great birthday
@babe I guess they built those things to last. I share a birthday with your keyboard but I'm twice as old.
@babe I expect you to get more interactions on this post than on your nudes… for some reasons ppl here have taste in keyboards but none in boobs.
@babe Awww ... blue label Model M <3
Some of mine must be 30 by now as well, celebrating their retirement from my Desktop ever since I got a Model F77 reproduction clocking in a 4kg 🦾
@babe Happy Birthday chunky boi!
@babe Great for typing on AND self defense.
@jaco @babe a different kind of keyboard warrior
@jaco @babe anyone remembers in the Wanted movie when McAvoy hits his “friend” with the keyboard? That MF had two “U” keys.
@babe aww nice. Mine is coming up in a couple of years!
@babe Man, that thing was designed to survive a nuke

@babe

Many happy RETURNS, Mr. Big Blue Keyboard!

@babe I own one, too and it's in great shape. Yours could need a little love (means cleaning) ... ;-)
@babe Hurrah! Happy 30th Mr Keyboard 🎉

@babe
Those keyboards are indestructable.
👍

@jason

@babe
Happy Birthday to the keyboard.
My office keyboard must be at least 20 years by now😄 hope it stays as long as yours.

@babe You look way too young to have used it back in 1993. 🤔🧐

Anyway, I liked these type of keyboards a lot. Cherry used to produce similar models. But typing was very loud. And you could beat someone to a bloody pulp with it and still use it as if nothing happened.

@babe
I rather wonder if this is a moire pattern on the shirt or is the picture designed that way?

Congrats to the keyboard youngster!

@babe damn that's a big ass keyboard
@babe they don’t make them like this anymore…
@babe New Buttons? Usualy the Letters disapear through use. Also the space Button Shows Signs of usage. Whats your Secret?
@Rackuur @babe letters on this keyboard aren't simply printed on top of the keys. They're done using the "dye sublimation" method where the plastic itself gets dyed in a way that's really long-lasting.
@kepstin @babe @Rackuur I used to have one of these, they’re absolute tanks and will probably survive longer than most of us
@babe My 1391406 says happy birthday youngster! (mine is a 1991-07-25 grey badge)
@babe Wow. You are a human of culture. The British IBM Model M is perhaps the finest keyboard ever made.
@babe Ho, gratulon!
Ĉu ĝi estis ofte uzata dum ĉiuj 30 jaroj?
Kaj ĉu ankoraŭ ekzistas klavaroj, faritaj en UR?

Oh, congratulations!
How often has it been used during these 30 years?
Also, do the keyboards manufactured in the UK still exist?
@babe Dang. Still a daily driver?
@babe those things are built to last, and occasionally to be used to kill someone 😳😅 How do you connect it, via some USB converter?

@babe

Dear keyboard

Happy birthday.

Here, have my last carrot.

Yours sincerely
Bunny Rabbit
