Unfortunately I live in Tennessee now, so I can't afford the trip.  I'll
go with a unicomp keyboard, and keep my eye out for local yard sales
whenever they resume.  Never can tell who has a model M sitting in a
closet somewhere and will want to get rid of it.

I don't like or use either one, and they are like new still. They don't have the old feel, they are clattery, and I find them not worth the trouble. I understand that gamers love them.
