AT&T keyboards not worth a shit?
   In my experience, my AT&T 4425 keyboard is better than any other I have used,
and that includes vt100's, HP-series, and others.   My keyboard has never had
any work (either preventative maintence, dust covers, or repair) other than
to turn it upside down and blow some junk from in-between the keys every now
and then.
   It bothers me for someone to slander the keyboard, then follow it up saying
that "I never took particular care of it...", even though it does not require
any special care.  It makes me think that you are one of those that type with
a sledge hammer or some such....
   Good luck with fixing it, though, a dying key can be a pain, those other
companies keyboards have done that to me a few times.
