Been thinking about getting a Unicomp.... problem is, I'm a serial coffee-spiller, and ruining one of those would be a damn shame.

(protip: Microsoft keyboards take 2x cream, 2x sugar)

I've read somewhere (sorry, don't have the source handy) that Unicomps don't quite measure up to the IBM model M in quality, as Unicomp is a much smaller company and have had to cut some corners. Still seems like the next best thing if you want a modern version.

Unicomp is the modern Model M, they own the technology now. So they are the only company that produces buckling-spring keyboards.

Oooo nice, didn't know that. I see Lexmark was an IBM division too, which I didn't know.
