Win a New Apple Keyboard!

Want a free new keyboard? AT: Home Tech is looking for the owner of the nastiest, most decrepit, and dirty keyboard out there. The winner will receive a brand new Apple Keyboard, the ultrathin aluminum keyboard we use and love ourselves. Just send a photo(s) of your in-dire-of-need-replacing keyboard to Ol' Dirty Keyboard Contest, your name and email, and we'll choose one lucky (and filthy) winner on September 3rd. Here's some inspiration.

I've had the same keyboard on my home PC for 17 years now. It's an XT keyboard, so I have an adapter to PS2. With the phasing out of PS2 to USB I don't know how much longer I'll be able to use it. I love it though, it has a steel case, is heavy, and the key action is fantastic. The layout is a little odd since there have been changes since 1990, but I have no trouble switching between home and work, where the keyboards are newer.

The cover and the sides of the keys has acquired quite a patina, but that just gives it character. I still vacuum it out regularly and it seems to be indestructable otherwise.
