I've never understood people's desires to stop strangers in the street
and, unsolicited, brag about how badly they were screwed over by (fill
in the blank). Yet they won't tell anyone about a good deal they got.

The Keytronics knock offs work well .... for less money. I'm typing this
on one. My housemate says "It's a cheap Chineee copy". To which I reply
"Wasn't cheap, bub." 

Still half or less the price of a Unicomp model M can be considered a
bargain in most places. And it should out live a dozen chicklet models.
