This and other odes to the Model M are here: http://z13.invisionfree.com/OneTrueKeyboard/ar/t56.h

The Model M is my keyboard; I shall not want.
It maketh me sit in front of my computer;
it leadeth me to caress the still keys.
It restoreth my faith in manufacturing;
it leadeth me to collect every single variety.
Yea, though I sit at a desk in a cubicle at work,
I will fear no carpal-tunnel, for thou art with me; thy clicks they comfort me.
Thou prepardest a refuge for me in the presence of cheap keyboards;
thou anointest my fingers with feedback; my productivity runneth over.
Surely ergonomics and quality shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will use my Model M forever.

I live in a poor town that borders Canada. One of my lot lines runs early 2000 feet along the border. There aren't many good jobs in my town and many of the few that do exist are with "international" companies and require cross-border travel. In my town a minor arrest record isn't uncommon and no one with such a record can be hired for such jobs.

I've read at least one comment by someone identifying himself as a Canadian official saying that the law isn't harsh as the article states. The truth is that, unless you buy an expensive one-day visa, any kind of arrest record at all, no matter the trivialness of the offence or how long ago it was, is enough to prevent one from entering Canada.
