Hands up those who hate the A500's keyboard. Does anyone, 
anywhere, have any idea if it is possible to replace it?
I am finally sick of its total lack of tactile feedback. 
I want a keyboard I can actually *feel* (!). 

I remember that there was something called the A1500 being 
marketed, in the UK at least, this time last year - by 
discarding the original case this was supposed to allow 
you to use a much better keyboard as well as neatening 
up all the cable spaghetti. Is it still around? Anyone 
actually used it? Is it worth the money?

Even if it does exist, I bet you can't use the A501 
HD with it. Hummph. 

Failing that, all I want to do is get something like an IBM 
Extended Keyboard linked up. This must be possible...? No? 
Oh come on - you mean we're actually stuck with Our Cheap 
Plastic Friend?
