Things have been quite busy for me, here in the Digital Sandbox; I'm getting ready to deploy a productivity enhancement system for a client's organization, complete with document imaging, distributed action management, and full wireless access using a Treo 650, SprintPCS, and Pylon Anywhere. Right now, I'm buried in wires, software, and product manuals.  (I know, a "Productivity Enhancement System" sounds like an offer for a vitamin pill or something you might expect to read in a spam email. It's not. If you knew what's going into this box, you'd want one. But that's a blog entry for another day.)

Since I don't have much time to invite guests over to the Digital Sandbox I thought I'd treat you to a mystery tour and see if you can identify the object in the photo.

I'll start by posting a close-up of something. Then, I'll ask for folks to see if they can identify what the item is and tell me what they know about it. The more "mature" readers of this blog may even remember using some of the items that I'll post here. If no one comes close, then I'll zoom out or add other hints.



Today's photo:



I'll give you a hint: it's a keyboard of some kind. That much is obvious, but what is it?  What is it a part of?  How old is it? How is/was it used? Did you/do you ever have one?

What can you tell me about this?

NOTE: If you have already been over to play in my Digital Sandbox, then you've already seen this. I ask you to kindly refrain from commenting for 48 hours.  Let's have some fun with this. Thanks.

I look forward to reading your comments. If there's continued interest, I'll post some more photos in the coming weeks, as time permits.
