Got this in the mail yesterday. An IBM Model M with special legends. Pretty cool looking.
Apparently it was for airline reservations:

I am going to book myself some tickets to Paris this summer! But first this keyboard needs a bath.
I will need to post in the off-topic forum later to ask for advice what to do in Paris. And i need to get internet access while I will be there.

Thats looks great, I'm struggling to get a decent UK board, they are only on every few weeks.
Watching this one,

American Airlines was one of the first big customers for the PS/2.... they bought tens of thousands of the things to replace all their terminals. I'm sure IBM decided to accommodate them accordingly (also worth noting that one of the "killer apps" for IBM's mainframes for many years was their airline reservation software)
