I have two of those that died after coffee got spilled on them - must
have another go at cleaning them as I'd much prefer one of those to the
Compaq keyboard I am left with. I was seriously thinking I'd have to
dismantle them to clean out the gunge but haven't yet found a tool that
will access those deeply recessed screws so they are still unused.
