                         About that keyboard I received
                                        
My friend Mark [1] informed me that my new keyboard [2] is intended to be
used on the airline reservation system SABRE (Semi-Automated Business
Research Environment) [3]. It makes sense that IBM (International Business
Machines) [4] would make such a keyboard, seeing how they initially developed
the SABRE (Semi-Automated Business Research Environment) system. He also sent
a link to a similar keyboard for sale [5] (although it has the numeric keypad
unlike mine) and the markings on the keys do match.

So I guess that means I can book flights directly. Neat!
