Where’s mah monkey?

So, coming back to the batcave last night, I spot a rather dilapidated suitcase chilling out in our doorway. Ever alert for terrorist plots, I grappled it open (having an inkling of what it might contain) to reveal this (and it’s beautiful glossy black, not the nasty mottled orangeness my phone camera seems to give):

Which seems very fortunate, what with our logo and all. So, dear readers (ha!), anyone got a monkey for me?

Seriously though, it’s all about the keys here…

Would you look at that type. Why don’t keyboards have serif’s anymore, I wonder; it’s awesome. You can’t see it yet (I need to get a decent ink ribbon), but the lowercase is also great. Also, why don’t we get keys for fractions anymore? That seems eminently useful.

Also, annoyingly, the G key appears to be broken (fitting Murphy’s law very well, as the first thing I typed was obviously ‘the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog’). But I’ll fix that unless anyone has a better idea for what to do with the keys. I don’t really want to take the typewriter apart, but might for a good enough project. And no, I do not need a steampunk macbook.

have your say
