If the austerity of Mac design does not sit well with your personal aesthetic, here is your opportunity to combine modern technology with heirloom quality historical design. Datamancer creates custom keyboards utilizing antique typewriter keys and custom hand made metal frames. One can hardly believe the laptop and desktop designs. This is the "von Slatt Original" keyboard, based on Jake von Slatt's design here. Pricing is from $1200 USD and up.

Absolutely disgusting! How is this luxury? It is a waste of energy and resources. Let's face it, computers are not old fashioned they are at the forefront of technology. Your blog usually is so forward thinking and substantial. This is anything but. Shame on you.
Recycling is he ultimate Green statement and all of the keys are recycled. Furthermore the keyboards are entirely hand crafted and unique, which to me makes them Luxury.
I think they are absolutely stunning. To make something so old new again is great. I wonder how the keys feel to the touch - do they have the same bounceback that old typewriters do or do they feel more like current computer keys.
this would make blogging feel so epic as you typed away on those keys.
