One thought i had was to get another A500 case (price, anybody?)
and saw it in two and move my A500 keyboard into it. THere is a REALLY
SMALL cable from the A500 keyboard to the main board, so it should be no
big deal. This was a common hack with the heath h*9 series of 
terminals/computers, only there people REALLY DID saw their computer
in two.
#define REALLY SMALL (around eight wires or so)
   Anyway, the A500 with just a little chainsaw work could have a 
detachable keyboard.
   In fact, maybe my brother could use the chainsaw when i was done ...
visit the 'authorized repair shop' and have a little discussion...
