OK, here's the situation: I was typing a paper when my phone rang.  I set my
keyboard on my desk and rushed over to the stereo to turn it down, and as I
was turning around I hear the sound of something plastic sliding off my desk.
Surprise, surprise- my keyboard was sliding off the pile of papers on my desk!
I managed to get a finger on it before it hit the ground, but no gold medal
this time...

So now I have four keys that are broken off and I don't know what the best
option is.  The white plastic stem that actuates the switch underneath the key
is broken in two, and I really don't want to have to buy a new keyboard.  Is
my best bet to glue the key top back onto the stem, or is there an easy way to
get a new stem (no, I haven't been smoking anything!)?  Thanks in advance...
