They don’t make ‘em like they used to, kids.
I went down the road to the “Mega Mart” during lunch to get a split keyboard… They had one! Except there was no price on it. So I asked the store guys and they fucked around trying to find the value of the thing for 15 minutes then came back and said to me that they couldn’t sell it to me because they couldn’t find a price. I’m not even going to say how impressed I was.
But something wonderful happened. I was bitching about it over a smoke with The Network Dude (TM) and he said he was also in the market for one and that he would give me a call on my ext. when he found out how much they are. Anyway, he later came down stairs to my level and tried to swindle me out of a machine I was using for testing and he of course, had a bribe. It was an old Microsoft Natural keyboard. Now when I say old, your thinking “eww, you totally don’t want that”. But I do. I picked it up - its heavy. It isn’t solid plastic. It has other stuff, good, durable, other stuff. This was a real keyboard unlike the ones you can buy now. They don’t make them like they used to, kids.
So I took the damn keyboard and told him he couldn’t have my test machine. (And when I said told, I was nice about it, I didn’t use the word fuck).
