Hi all,

This is a sad, sad story. 

It's apparently winter now, so I've been discharging static electricity at
everything. Makes it REALfun to take apart MBoards/RAM/CPUs. 

Anyway, as I'm sure many of you know, OmniKeys are the best keyboards in
the world. One of the good things about them is that they are heavy as
hell.

Unfortunetly, this is due to a highly conductive steel frame.

So, I sit down, reach for the keyboard - and ZAP it to death. 

Yes! I _zapped_ an _OmniKey_ to death. This thing has been around (and in
constant use!) since 1990. It has had tea, coke, water and various
foodstuff dropped into it. It has fallen off desks. It has been used as a
cat bed for several years. NOTHING could kill that keyboard, except
apparently static discharges.

Oh, it's not COMPLETELY dead. Some keys still work fine. Other, like the B
key for example, do weird things like printing out "*ZXCVBNM<>?" (yeah,
the whole row). Spacebar now toggles CAPSLOCK. Some keys send, in addition
to themselves, an F1. 

I now have ONE working OmniKey, and four that kinda work. Anyone know
somewhere that can fix them? Anyone know of a current keyboard that's even
remotely as decent, save the Avant Stellar which costs WAY too much? Is
eBay my only hope?

Sadly typing on a REALLY quiet and mushy keyboard, 

-Yaron
