Has anyone come up with a different keyboard for the Mac?  The one on it is
virtually unusable (to me) for typing anything substantial.  The best thing
would be a Wyse-50 keyboard interfaced, but I'd settle for just about
anything else.  I don't think it would be too difficult to do.

Also, the Mac mouse seems to die pretty quickly.  Everything about it seems
to be built very shabbily.  Is there an alternate mouse, with a more robust
button and a better design for the mouse-ball (or whatever you call it)?
The Microsoft mouse (for the PC) is really nice, but I don't know how
difficult it would be to interface.  I heard a rumor once that the Apple IIc
mouse (optical?) could be connected, but I've never found any place that
stocks it.
