____ FRST Computer: Model 2 __________________________________________
This one is the second FRST.
This one was developed alongside the Model 1, really, with this one
allowing me to try out a new keyboard design -- the chocV keyboard.
I was immediately impressed by this design and wanted to incorporate
it into my next CyberDeck. This makes it slightly simpler and more
portable.
This time the PLA is pure black, and while not as nice looking as,
say, magnesium, is just a nice, dark, utilitarian vibe for this
CyberDeck.
