Alt, Control, Return, Apple buttoned up

All that I have to remind me of my old Blueberry Imac are the buttons that I made from it's old keys. It was a good machine but the useful lifespan of a computer is as short as a Hollywood marriage. While it was a good looker and a great design that could be collectible in 50 years or so, space is a valuable asset and it had to go. Before I formatted the hard drive and left it on a street corner for someone to adopt it, I took the keys from its keyboard to do something with.

A few years later when I lost a button from my beloved sheepskin winter coat I fashioned buttons from some of the old keys. Just take a self shank (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Button) button and glue it to the back of the key.
