Always wanted one of these. Finally got one. Can you guess why?

Thats right. Because of this hilariously stupid spacebar. I mean ever seen a spacebar that actually says space on it? How awesome is that.

Other than that I guess its also a pretty good board. Fully programmable(?), Browns, N-Key rollover.

Yep. And that is so rare for Cherry Corp, that they did not even bother to make up a special stabilizer for it. Just dumped two switches in there, and there they go.

Sixty, just out of interest, do you speak Korean?

I wish! I can read some Hangul by now, but my actual language knowledge is still pretty slim.

Man, I'd like to have a keyboard with blank keys, except for a spacebar with "SPACE" on it.

Sadly I have no blank white keys, else I'd do that!

That "space" on the spacebar is actually very cool.

I want one of these so badly now.
How much did you get it for?

I got it in a trade. They are rather common in Korea, since apparently they were used in one of the biggest banks or something, and then phased out a few years ago.

Maybe I can help you, if you want to know the exact meaning of words or sentences in Korean.

In fact, I'd say that's a regular ISO layout PCB...

You are right. Besides the special keys on the space row. Makes you wonder why they bothered to change those there and not the enter key?!

I can't see the photos on this thread? it just says Image repeatedly. Is the image hosting service down? or should I be looking for something wrong with my settings? I already tried disabling add-ons in Firefox (ubuntu 10.10)
EDIT: just tried Chrome, blank image frames instead of the word Image

now I'm really stumped. I can't see any images on imgur, except the adverts. I started thinking maybe this is some kind of Linux specific issue e.g. imgur are using Silverlight, but I read their FAQ and they have a Linux uploader, so the site is presumably Linux friendly?

Yes, its actally a very nerdy image host. Works fine on linux here. Maybe just some tier routing issues right now.

will give it some time then and see if it fixes itself...
EDIT: tried rebooting my router earlier, I can see the pictures now so I guess this was a routing issue. Thanks.
