 KW> Nice. I should have kept some of my old hardware; I don't think I ever

 KW> AT keyboards must be a pain to find...

Probably... I've not tried...  :)

 KW> The number of new Dell and Apple systems I've seen fail at work is
 KW> shocking. I had my Mac tech tell me that seeing a Mac logic board fail
 KW> before the 3-year warranty expires is quite common.
