Those model M
keyboards came from a time when there were still a fair
number of people upgrading their own systems and places doing repair, so
the comparison isn't apt there.
More than that, those were built at a time when people valued quality, and
rejected cheap junk, because the mentality was to do things right and make
them to last. The obsession with "new" overshadowed that and now new is
more important than anything else.
