Well, the buses of most chips usually associated with chip music are 8 bits wide. Maybe that's where we would draw the line if the term was a technical one. But hey, we live in a world where rock music doesn't necessarily rock you, where blues isn't necessarily blue and where Sony distributes indie music.

Re: The Commodore Phoenix (16 replies, posted in General Discussion)
These wedge PC's have actually been around for a couple of years, so I'm betting that it's just relabeled with the Commodore brand. Also, it's an obvious trademark infringement since these guys actually aren't Commodore at all.

Alright, I challenge Hawkfather to do some low-keyed spy music (vibraphones, brush slaps, finger snaps wood bass, all that shiz); You are searching through Red Ferret's old apartment in Moscow, trying to find out how long he's been working for France.

Obviously not a sustainable "fix," but have you tried using the white theme?

Re: Favorite keyboards thread (the typing kind) (34 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
Compaq nc8430. Looks like a normal laptop keyboard, I guess. I looked it up on the net and it seems my keyboard has a full size enter key unlike the ones on the pictures, but otherwise they look the same. I should note that I'm using "soft" a bit flexibly here. What I mean is that when you think that you have hit the bottom there are still a couple of millimeters to be had by pushing it a little bit harder. It's not like you land your fingers in a cloud, but at least you know where you are in terms of having triggered the key before your fingers bash into a dead end.
@tacticalbread: Really? I always thought that those keyboards looked nice.

Re: Favorite keyboards thread (the typing kind) (34 replies, posted in Other Vintage Computers & Consoles)
OK, what I mean by "tactile definition" is, you can feel exactly when the switch makes contact so that you can let up on the key and move to the next one without bottoming it out. It doesn't matter how "soft" the bottom of the key is, if you've hit the bottom and haven't felt the defining tactile point, then there is no tactile definition. For a touch typist, this is definitely important.
That's what I mean by "well defined click," which is reached before hitting the soft bottom.
