How fitting, that on the 62nd anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution , you find the keyboard that won the Cold War.

Fun Fact: some M odel Ms found its way into various less honorable settings at the hands of the Mujihideen in the Soviet-Afghan War, the Lockerbie bombing, and as the primary armament on Argentinian Super Etendards, involved in the sinking of the HMS Sheffield and the Atlantic Conveyor.

Point of Order: we would never use Model M’s for this.
