I LOVE the beeper in those keyboards! So happy to see one loved and working with it’s machine. ❤️

AI generated image in the article preview so I’m not reading. Look at the keyboard, no arrow keys lmao.

Amazing how the NSA finds every excise to suck possible.

Clean keycaps with denture tablets, move up to soap and water with a sponge if needed, flitz polish as a last resort (it will wear the caps down, other two are perfectly safe). Caps are doubleshot iirc so no risk of wearing off the legends.

Retrobrite at your own peril. I do not advise. That said, only ABS plastic goes yellow with age, so the same techniques for retrobriting will work on both caps and case.

Cleaning the spring with conventional rust removers is up to you but the springs will rust again so I say to leave the rust on to protect against future rust. Oiling the springs would help though.

I love to see old tech being loved and treasured. Cheers to this and may every old computer have such a loving home.

The USPTO already has lower fees for “micro entities” as it calls regular people and small businesses. Still too expensive for regular people and too cheap for mega corps but they do have different fee tiers.

I’m shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.
