The Butterfly Keyboard is Dead!

With the recent release of the latest Mac Book Pro, the butterfly keyboard is finally dead! Huzzah!

It's dead, but not as dead as a doornail. You see, Apple still has these abominations of keyboards still about thanks to the keyboard replacement program and the new old stock still floating around Apple, Amazon, Best Buy, and anywhere else you can buy these things. Unfortunately, there are still people on youtube unboxing these things. Eventually, though, these will be completely gone.

What about me, you ask? Well, if you know me, you know that I am a happy MacBook Pro owner. I have been since 2011 when I got my first MacBook Pro. In 2017, I looked at upgrading my MBP because it was losing support - Mojave was coming and High Sierra was as high as it was going to go. I loved it and it lasted me so long. So I went out to my local Apple Store to buy it one weekend (instead of repeating 2011 and just buying it online and waiting a weekend to get it).
