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. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
