> How about an IBM model M? Mine's 16 years old, which blows my mind...

just looked at the vintage on mine... 1986. :) the sister to it is an '87. 
the '86 one doesn't have any indicator blinkies (caps lock, scroll lock,
numlock lights); but I've gotten by pretty well without them.

anyone know how to clean the accumulated dust & grime off one of these
things safely? mine is looking pretty nasty by now. :)
