What can I do about this. I haven't > =Steve= All you need to do is run down to your local friendly (?) Apple dealer and buy a couple of key switches and install them yourself. It should take you no more than 10 minutes to do them if you're careful. Just open the case by removing the 6 screws, locate the offending keys and de-solder them, snap in the new keys and re-solder. Total cost, $10., tops. If you don't want to do the soldering the Apple dealer should do it for you for no more than $10. (each). Hope this helps. -- Lawrence A. Dziegielewski | E.I.
