Old School Mechanical Pencil

Old school: a cord.

Old school wired keyboard, non-lighted keys, no nonsense.

Great lead supply for my mechanical pencil. These are very thick and so far, not a single has broken even when I extend a bit. Very happy with these lead refills.

the pencil and paper goes together. Haven't felt this experience in years and it gives the feeling that I'm back in school again.

Old school meets new school. I use it with a 2021 iMac running Adobe Premiere mostly. Very beefy and heavy construction, and the keys have a great semi-old school meets new school slightly 'clicky' + soft action to them.

I'm an "Old school" competition shooter from as far back as the 80s. For precision of shot placement at speed, as my eyes have aged, electro-optical sights on my handguns has kept me in the game. I currently run 7 Burris FFIII on my various sporting, defensive, and hunting handguns, in both 8 moa, and 3 moa versions. I find them to be very rugged, as I don't "baby" my gear. My oldest ones have seen many tens of thousands of round, and they're still ticking.

I like to learn the Old School way of doing things, then tinker with the new stuff. That way I always have a fall back. This DVD has some good info and keeps you watching. I also have all my helpers watch it so they get a quick lesson.

This is truly a wonderful lens. Old school build quality that will last forever. Being a manual focus lens there is no auto focus to fail, no auto focus to adjust. There is simply a silky smooth ring to turn. With a little care you can enjoy that same precision 50 years from now, long after the autofocus lenses have bit the dust. One nice thing I discovered is that a Nikon 72mm LC-72 lens cap will fit the hood perfectly. This allows me to leave the hood on at all times and still have the benefit of a cap. Call it a hood cap instead of a lens cap. Whatever you call it, I think you'll like it. See the attached picture to see how it looks on my D3X.

Old school integrated amp with digital inputs. That's a good thing. It gives me a feeling of quiet confidence. It replaced an old Onkyo receiver that died. I bought an internet radio, so I didn't need a receiver. I use it in my bedroom stereo, so I don't need massive power; I doubt that I'll ever strain the 60 WPC power rating. I'm not an audiophile, and it sounds just fine to me. I wish I could offer glowing flowery reviews, but this thing just sits there and works just fine. It just sort of exudes understated quality and, hopefully, reliability. I've only had it for about three weeks, but so far I'm more than satisfied.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Gives that old-school mechanical feel without being an expensive, loud mechanical keyboard - not 100% comparable to a full mechanical, obviously, but better key engagement and feedback than most keyboards I've used in a long time. I used to try and get by with an older Apple keyboard even on Windows and when my workplace installed these I had to get one for home as well. Reminds me of the older PS/2 keyboards from the 90s/early 2000s that came with every desktop computer - solid, quiet, and no ridiculous gaming backlighting or RGB options. Built like it will last a while, and hopefully does as my Microsoft keyboard had 5+ keys with worn letters after 2 years.
