Laney College, in Oakland, probably around 2002 or so. The teacher was adamant that one assignment was crucial, and you would flunk if you
failed to turn it in. He re-iterated "If you don't turn in this
assignment, you can take this class over again. If you turn it in, you can't..."
I think the class was $35 a semester, plus chemistry. You could get into
the dark room any time they had an open bay, and the teacher sold
expired Tri-X he had in his freezer for $1.25 a roll.
That straight up sounds amazing. SOme of the best shots I ever did was those happy accidents that Bob Ross always taught, and you cannot make happy accidents if all your shit is perfect.

I did all of my BBSing in the 90s with one of these or a Model M.
I started splurging on keyboards, monitors and mice at work - those are relatively cheap and they're what people's impressions of PCs are mostly based on. Although, I haven't seen a desktop PC in any of my company's offices... All laptops.
Theater was big in my school, and it's big in my daughter's school -
we've seen some really impressive performances. The kids do all the backstage work, too. I've been trying to steer her to theater since all
of my theater friends in high school ended up being the cool adults, and
are still close many years later.
never heard someone call it a keeb.
anyways, i like the reddragon brand. my old one broke because i spilled soda on it. this is the one i have now. very clicky.

i have to have volume control on my keyboards. I don't use macros. I also like having a lit keyboard.
Yeah, my new gig is mostly laptops which i've never had before. it's nice to grab your computer for a meeting, come back to your desk, dock and work on full size stuff.

Red Dragons are GREAT, quality products, not terribly expensive, can
still modify them a bit if you desire, but great out of the box.
LED keebs are fun. LED lighting these days is getting crazy if you're
into the whole "i spend way too much money on my pc".
to try out some other stuff)
i have a K552 in white with a set of Akko switches (some "blue"-ish
variant that they stopped making) and original NES color themed
key caps
thankfully (mostly for my wallet) this put me way past the quality
level i'd ever really care about personally.
I feel like the laptop
screen is actually a little small to read easily, so I've been using the external ultrawide monitor.

That's old age gently knocking... just before it smashes through the door and gives you a turbo wedgie :)
I never needed glasses at all until about 40, I've only had them a few years and I seem to have speedrun from a low prescription "just to help" to needing varifocals and still half the time not being able to see what I'm looking at.
It could be getting older.. I'm 45 and have never needed glasses, but glasses may help some day. I do feel like my work laptop's screen resolution is fairly high, and for its size, it can mak text a bit
small if you don't have a zoom setting on it..
