Very nice! Freebees are the best, there used to be frequent ones on marktplaats.nl (there may be still but I haven't checked lately). This was my best free haul: A complete PS2 system including working dot matrix printer and a hard disk filled with retro games.
Rivets in good state, but I didn't check for crystals...
A bit dirty though.... yuck! Note the safeguard against electrocution while posting on deskthority.
Not that I have much use for this system, it has been gathering dust in my garage ever since. Maybe something for MrInterface?

I went on a similar bike ride for an "Apple Extended Keyboard" a few months ago. (Edinburgh's got a busy Freegle group and I've picked up an iMac and a G5 that way, but by car for whole computers.) Imagine my surprise when I pressed a few keys as the donor handed it to me and felt a telltale mush. Keyboard in hand, even in the dim stairwell light, I could tell this was no AEK. Flipped it over and clear as day engraved on the back "AppleDesign Keyboard". Sad trombone!
I should have clocked him with it. But the bloody thing's too light.

Seems to be the Model M finding time of the year :) Three in a couple of days.
Muirium: you know what the sad thing is? I picked up a couple of free AppleDesign Keyboards years ago (one each of Alps and NMB, turns out). I eventually swapped out my Motorola StarMax keyboard (a rebranded MacAlly MK-105) with one of them and decided that it was a huge improvement over the StarMax keyboard … (A few years later I rediscovered the blue Alps keyboard I had stashed away in the corner, that I just knew was way better than anything else I'd ever used in my life.)
