Oh, I'm not suggesting you buy a new one. If you like it more than other keyboards, then by all means stick with it. I'm bickering because you seem to think it's in some way functionally superior to more modern keyboards. If it's aesthetic or nostalgic or something, then I understand, and I can't argue with that.
Where do I opine about the functional superiority/inferiority of either Model M or any other keyboard? The argument started when I was told to upgrade my keyboard. We've been arguing about my choice of keyboard. Not functionality! I so happen to like the way it feels and sounds. I've said so repeatedly!
shrugs... I guess I got the impression that you were arguing it was better in some meaningful way. Sorry.
You want to argue with me that the Model M sucks. Why else would you post about it? That's all and well, however, what is suck? I interpret absolutes of opinion to be determined by the general consensus which seems to favor Model M. How else would you measure one opinion against another?
No, not really. I didn't really mean to be so argumentative. It just seemed odd to me that someone would prefer those things over a a more... serene... keyboard. I definitely recognize the nostalgic/retro component... I guess it just means nothing to me.
I think that's a silly way to measure all things subjective. I don't think there exists a good way to do it, though. When I say "it sucks", I mean "I'd never want to use that thing", not "no one should ever want to use that thing".
Sorry for the off topic. If I were a better moderator, I'd split this off.
