A week ago, I 'soft-launched' this new main site feature for Admiral Shark's Keyboards. The title is to the point regarding what it is, a timeline of what I think are important IBM keyboard events. An interesting and informative overview of the keyboarding history behind the company that arguably shaped keyboards the most.

Provided are an optional "quick read" (single sentence summaries) and a table-layout version, and some predefined filters including keyboards/hosts only (i.e., keyboard launch dates only), company/factory events only and patents only. You can of course use the live search bar for any of them as well. As per its order on my site's navigation bar, for any newcomers in particular, it is intended to be read after the introduction but before any database or wiki page.
I consider this feature technically a work-in-progress, but I already believe it to be good enough to portray the general timeline already. If you have feedback or suggestions, I would be happy to hear them. Otherwise, please enjoy.
