People that know me personally know that I LOVE my keyboards.
No really, I love them.
I even wrote about them two years ago: IBM Model M - The One True Keyboard.
These keyboards are a triumph of technology. Future generations will talk about Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, the Great Pyramid of Gizah, and the IBM Model M Keyboard. These keyboards are the epitome of human civilization.
Really, they are that good.
I have more than 10 Model M keyboards now, and before you ask: NO, they are not for sale, and NO, I will not give you one. Some day I will die, and my son will inherit the keyboards. Since every single modern keyboard is a piece of utter crap, I want my son to hack with some style.
But now I see another advantage of using a Model-M, you can kill an attacker with it, and it will still work.
Two scientists, Paul Honig and Anne Jan Brouwer, made this discovery replacing an attacker’s head with, well, watermelons.
Not only that, they also discovered that you can defeat an attacker if he uses a lesser keyboard as a weapon.
The IBM Model-M IS mightier than the sword.
