SORRY FOR THE CRAPPY YELLOWISH LIGHT :::
There's 25 million pigs in Denmark .. So, 'HAM' is a fitting name IMO :lol:

I was thinking today how awesome it would be if these existed so this is really shocking to me.

The Æ looks kinda funky though but I won't complain.

I still can't get my arms down !!
My wife has left the building, she thinks my hobby is crazy :D

Yeah, the 'Æ' does look funky, it's larger than everything else, except for 'Ø', 'Å', '½','§' & '~' ...
Those are probably the least used moulds Cherry ever made ?

I'm thinking there was at least a pallet of these ..
But, knowing Denmark, most of them have probably been 'converted' to fjernvarme :(

Do they burn electronics?

These need to be saved!

I think this is just considered 'plastik' ..
Maybe it's recycled into Novo-pens or something ?
Since the board has no 'win-keys' it's pretty old, last millennium or something, and
Denmark isn't exactly known for it's vintage computer-market, we dump most of it according to Moores Law,
including the keyboards for some reason ..
Maybe it's because lately (the last 15 years) they are all crap anyway ??

Do you have anything to confirm that they are gone forever?

It's the first I've ever seen ..
It also seems this is the only Cherry-board with Danish DS-caps on the entire internets !

My hopeful brain tricked me into think you had seen a pallet full. I suck at reading some times.
