I found this old trading terminal from Cantor Fitzgerald in a reseller/liquidator wharehouse space up Elston in Chicago. It was probably 5000sqft of incredibly miscellaneous stuff, handbags and office chairs and boxes of candles and beads, all run by a ragtag crew of what looked to be recent NorthWestern business school graduates, out to cut their teeth with a first hustle--which was buying and selling absolutely anything. There was a cardboard box junked full of old keyboards, random peripherals, credit card readers, and this. It was all free, I can't say why.. they kept talking about 'throughput'. We took two of the card readers and later pulled numbers off them (pswd factory default = 0000). (by the way, WORK IS SO STRANGE)

I really like the terminal. I need an old dc 9v converter to power it up, then hopefully I can find some drivers and remap the keyboard to play emulated video games with it. Or make a derranged unqwerty keyboard. The things I can do with five buy and five sell buttons. Note also The Key Intentionally Left Blank, aka 'dump the junk bonds.' I've been in sort of a lull as far as finding things, was holding out for something more awesome but whateva, this looks fun.
