I challenge you to calculate the number of keypresses it has had in its
life.  

Bonus marks for calculating a percentage for each OS it was ever plugged
into.

Sadly, my model M developed an intermittent fault where some keys are 
simply not registered. Took it apart (not quite as easy as it sounds) 
and resoldered the joints, but no luck. Every so often, some keys simply 
cease registering.

A sad day. My faith in the Model M's has been shaken.

Cheers,
Carl.
