Well I think mine isn't quite up to 101 :-)
It's the short keyboard with no numeric keypad - designed for one
of the portables or something. It's a Model M - manufactured
on February 19, 1993.
I found them brand new about 18 months ago and I have two sitting
right here - one I swivel to and has a KVM and this one is only on
this machine. I liked them so much I bought 2 more as spares.
$6.00 in new boxes. Didn't look bad for sitting in a warehouse for
7 years :-) Love the touch.
