A Mechanical Keyboard Journey: From Buckling Springs to Cherry MX Blue switches

I have been using Mechanical keyboards for years and I don't think I will ever switch to anything else. This is of course because in my personal opinion, the best keyboards available are those that come with mechanical key switches.

My keyboard of choice has always been my trusty (and nearly indestructible) IBM Model M with its fantastic Buckling Springs. It was built in 1986 and is still going as strong as ever. However, I recently decided that although I am very content with my beloved Buckling Springs I wanted to give another mechanical key switch a try.

Upgrading the BIOS on an GNU/Linux-powered ASUS Eee PC 900A

I recently started thinking about upgrading the stock Solid State Drive with a faster and higher capacity model. It runs fairly fast already since I use light-weight applications, but extra speed is always a plus.

The prerequisite on the manufacturer's website for the faster drive was that the Eee PC needed to have a newer BIOS installed. It did not surprise me to discover that my version was so old that it wasn't even listed on ASUS' download page anymore.
