hmm yes i should "adapt" to a lovely row of numbers when i have the option to input my integers 10000x faster on a powerful and compact numpad

seems like you also didn't adapt out of those diapers because it's super easy to just poo poo yourself

latest Symbolics keyboard poached from a priceless workstation sold on eBay for US$1400

they're not even that great to type on

buyer better not loving cannibalize it for the switches or Dremel it out for a USB adapter

there was a guy who integrated that into the handlebars of his recumbent bike. he eventually modified the codes based on frequency analysis so he could type faster tho

the bike itself is on display at the Computer History Museum, it's enormous

also I bet modern "distracted driving" laws would make it illegal, with its big LCD just showing a regular Mac desktop and such (on which he'd do email and Telnet to servers and stuff while riding)

didn't he also use a "private eye" display simultaneously with the bike's displays and his handlebar chorded keyboard?
