I figure the new AMC show should be good for keyboard spotting, I've just finished the first episode and there's a plethora or terminals in it so far!

Don't get me wrong, this will be one of many new boards, so a few quirks in it are just fine! I've been watching the threads in the Workshop with great interest and I'm planning a small 60% or 40% just as soon as these exams are out of the way. For me, there's a huge satisfaction in building things ...

Hi all, I've been a long time lurker on here and bought a Keycool 87 with Cherry Blues around a year back to scratch the mechanical itch.
