I didn't upvote it, but keyboards are, despite the rise of touchscreens, still a useful technology. Particularly for people who spend all day using them.

The Model M is a great choice for some people because of it's buckling spring design. Though for me, the Natural Erognomic 4000's layout trumps the superior tactile feedback - it also is very comfortable when sitting in my lap. But I've toyed with getting another Model M, one with the trackpoint...my ancient Toshiba Laptop has one on it's excellent keyboard and the trackpoint is the best mouse alternative out there...in my opinion...because I don't even have to move my hands from the home row.

Why is "State of MetaFilter" upvoted? "LOL, I USE METAFILTER, SO I BETTER UPVOTE THIS"?

Why is "Pokemon Crystal disassembled source code" upvoted? "LOL, I PLAYED POKEYMON SO I BETTER UPVOTE THIS"?

What is your point exactly? People upvote what interests them. Don't like it don't upvote. What is the point of complaining just of its own sake without adding anything to the discussion.

Just the weekly jerk.
