Episode description

Anthony found an article that describes the community around the IBM Model M keyboard, a sublimely clicky keyboard that has spawned cult-like devotion and a second hand black market. It makes him consider our fetishization of things, and the ties to productivity they create. Jeff just thinks all those objects are yelling at him.
