The A500/A2000 keyboards will have a different radius on the f and j keytops
rather than the little nibs on the A1000 keybard.  Actually, it is something
of a mystery why some A1000's were manufactured with the nibs on the d and k
keytops, while other have them on f and j.  There doesn't seem to have been
any specific instruction to change them, and apparently noone noticed the
difference before they were shipped.  Maybe someone at the keyboard factory
had a bad monday and mixed up the molds or something.
