Nice! What company, if I may ask? I feel like we've discussed this before but I'm drawing a blank hehe.

 pF> Nostalgia. The hardware is beautiful to me, the SUN type 5 keyboard is

Ah, gotcha. So, really, the reason I have all the stuff in my game room is for the same reason, I was just curious if there was something specific you'd be able to do with it from a gaming perspective. But this makes sense.
