Well, my k and / keys work fine. :) Otherwise, I am not too crazy about the keyboard either. They make too much noise, and don't spring back. They also hurt my finger tips after hours of typing. I want rubber keys! :) But then I bought a SafeSkin keyboard overlay, which reduced the noise and made it feel a little better. I am glad I bought it, so I even got one for my 3000. It takes a while for the skin to match the keyboard, but it will happen eventually. >-- > // UUCP: ...!{tektronix|ogicse}!sequent!dvp _______ >=====// =========================================================| # | > \\ // Internet: dvp@sequent.com | | >==\ /============================================================| | >Dan Vander Ploeg ------- -- David Tiberio SUNY Stony Brook 2-3481 AMIGA DDD-MEN "If you think that we're here for the money, we could live without it.
