(the ROM03 //gs was, IMHO, more of a recognition of design flaws (sound,
memory, CDAs, QuickDraw, battery).  Want people to quiet down about no
upgrade policy?  Update the 128K ROMs with all the bug fixes, just no new
tools... sell it for a reasonable price, and people will quiet down.  For
about a week, but you have to enjoy the silence while it lasts).

Okay, is the Apple design team aware that their keyboard connectors die
after a little while?  Are they planning to re-work their design to prevent
such things?  I realize this is not exactly your department, but unless
the Mac keyboards are built differently, *every* owner of a newer Mac or //gs
is going to have problems some time in the near future.

Can we upgrade our keyboards for free?  :-)
