I’m typing this update on my brand new (well, old tech) buckling spring Unicomp Spacesaver keyboard. It’s basically brand new remake of the old clicky-clacky IBM Model-M, but with USB on the end. Typing is a dream on this sucker — you know just when you’ve struck a key (the metallic clang lets you know). Is it loud as hell ? Yes it is. Is it heavy enough to squash a cat ? Yes it is. Am I getting paid by Unicomp to say this ? No I’m not. Either way, goodbye forever, mushy modern piece of junk keyboard! I highly recommend the Spacesaver, don’t let the $70 price tag keep you away. With that, let’s take a look at an old advertisement for IBM’s “new paths to knowledge” exhibit from the ’62 World’s Fair. Click (clack) it!
