Made by motioncomputing.
I ordered a data 911 and got this instead. Scissor switches. Layout isn't too bad. Don't know what to do with it yet...
Please don't suggest I burn it...

He's sending me the right 'board - apart from apologising for the error he didn't even mention it. Kind of decent of him I think.
He's lost out on the postage from the states as well.

in that case i hear lighter fluid and a butane torch are rather fun.

Hmm, it has the same font as the keyboard on my Dell Latitude laptop.

Don't use acetone, it burns far too quickly.

One guy at hardforum recommended cleaning your keyboard with benzene. Instead the OP followed the advice of another and dumped the Das Brown Cherry it a bucket of Windex.
Needless to say it didn't work too well afterwards.

I take it the Windex suggestion came from a Greek member.

Probably Italian or French Canadian. Lately all the tools at Geekhack have been one or the other.

That rules me out.

Some people at Geekhack are saying it's the Hack in Geekhack.
Others are saying it's iMav's avatar.
I'd say more but the admins both there and here have been deleting my posts if I get out of line.

The first time it was the "Hack" in GeekHack. This last time, it was the virus/worm/whatever that invaded the site.
Ironic seeing that iMav works for McIntel, err, IntelAfee, err, Symantec's Bitch.
