  I'm literally fed up with the new Archimedes keyboard, how many times do
you have to keep cleaning the keyboard contacts - this is the third time in
the space of 2 weeks ! Okay so its better than the old ones in respect to  
those rubber pads - they were a right pain putting back, but this one needs
more cleaning. I keep finding the odd key not responding, unless it was hit
hard, when I rang up Dabhand computing to enquire what's wrong they just
said take it apart - or if I wasn't capable of that then send it to them !
Well I don't know about other less able people but I'm sure I'd be sick of
having to send the keyboard several times a year just to get cleaned !

  Come on Acorn - I'm sure you can find a better design.
