LACK is from 1979 according to IKEA but the first one I could actually find (purely out of curiosity) is in the 1981 catalog on page 68 (in 5 colors). It is also on the front cover.

You’re a wonderful writer. It made me curious enough to look at your previous comments. (Your comment about your grandma who baked was also like a wonderful short story but in fewer words.) Do you write books as well, by chance? Or a blog,

A paragraph or more with a personal story or example(s) for each item would make it more relatable and understandable. I'm curious about "I know that flow states are very similar to manic states." Or like for #1, what are som

That's pretty cool. It's nice to see this exists. For me, I'll probably send an email later to support to ask (no rush, since it's out of stock anyway), but I was checking for info on compatibility with Yamaha (e.g. my C

I made a PCB for a keyboard and built it with forward and backward leap keys, “use front” keys etc, copying the Canon Cat. Now I “just” have to write the actual text editing software/OS for whichever microcontroller I end up using, and
