Well, I finally did it and dropped my IIci keyboard....it's 
broken.  The ADB port on the right side cracked and fell off.
So I took it my locate service center...an easy repair right?

The technican informed me that Apple does not make the part and
to fix it I will have to buy a new keyboard.

FLAME ON
This is completely stupid.  They  can't repair a 50 cent part so
I have to buy a new $150-$200 keyboard.  It hardly seems
fair and makes me think that Apple is one of the stupidest
companies around.

FLAME OFF

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do about this
to avoid buying a new keyboard?  I really can't afford a new
keyboard at the moment (yes...I know that there are ADB ports
on the back of the ci, but I want the keyboard fixed).

Any help appreciated...I'm desparate,

Damian
