I hate shuffles. The fact that Apple charges more than the damn thing cost to repair it pisses me off.

Where did you get it from?
Been trying to get hold of one for years, over in the US you can find them for prices like that. Over here rip of prices of like £90+ are the usual.
Thrift store. Second Model M I've found at one over the past couple years of keeping an eye for them.
More or less just patience and getting a bit lucky.

From a historical standpoint, the IBM keyboards helped standardize the layout we all know these days.
From a mechanical standpoint, the keyboard weighs 5 pounds because of the construction (typical keyboard is 1.5 pounds) and metals used. Each key uses a buckling spring for the motion, which gives the distinct "click, clack" sound and the solid feel when typing. Backed with a steel plate and housed in a very solid plastic shell, the whole thing just feels amazingly solid. Like I could fight of zombies with it solid.
As a result, they are sought after by those that know, and often the first experience one has with a mechanical keyboard. They keyboard pictured behind the Model M is a Filco that uses Cherry mechanical switches. Thus, it also clicks and clacks and has a very solid and consistent feel to it.
Animation of the spring for each key...

A bottle of Absolut Limited Edition London 2012 for next weekend.
I got a bottle of that last weekend(was on offer at Morrisons lol) It has a very smooth taste. When I pay £15 for a bottle of anything(vodka, southern comfort, Whiskey) I like to drink it neat so i can taste what i payed that much money for.

Just ordered EVGA GTX 460 superclocked, and Corsair XMS2 Twin 4GB DDR2 to boost my gaming performance for upcoming Guild Wars 2.
Current setup:
Intel Core 2 Quad
ASUS P5B Deluxe
Asus Nvidia 8800GTS
2gb DDR2
750w PS
Hopefully I don't get any bottle-necking since I'm on an old platform.

Agreed. Much better than most keyboards you get these days and especially better than laptop keyboards in terms of how the keys feel.

I just got a third pair of Nike Elite socks, these are royal blue with a white stripe. I also have the plain black with white stripe, and white with a sky blue stripe. I'm thinking about buying one of the customized pairs online, so I can get purple and gold for ECU football games 
(they obviously don't sell such a color combo in stores, maybe not even straight from Nike
