Message-ID: <19665@amdahl.amdahl.com> Date: 15 Dec 87 14:18:06 GMT Organization: Amdahl Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA 94086 Lines: 39 Keywords: Quality inspection testing big PF-keys another trade-in deal :-) [ "Send lawyers, guns, and money ..." ] Two people I know have recently purchased 2000's. One came from Mountain Software in North Carolina, the other from a shipment just delivered to a Palo Alto, CA dealer. Both people have mentioned problems with their cursor keys acting "funny" (one said he had to hit a cursor key twice in WordPerfect in order for it to be recognized [or something close to that], and the other person had a similar [though slightly different] problem). Both of these people are experienced Amiga owners. There have also been a couple of postings to the net about keyboard/cursor problems on 2000's, so it seems that someone at CBM (hi, Dave) might want to check into this. BTW, I wonder if all these people with keyboard problems have the *new* style keyboards? Those are the ones with the BIG PF-keys up at the top (like the 1000 or 500 has)? One of the people I mentiond above definitely has the new keyboard ... dunno about the other one. And before anyone else asks ... will there be a keyboard upgrade/buy-back program forthcoming from CBM. For those of us with *little* PF-keys on our 2000's keyboard's ...? Insert *large* dose of smiley-faces here ... :-) :-) ... /kim -- UUCP: kim@amdahl.amdahl.com or: {sun,decwrl,hplabs,pyramid,ihnp4,uunet,oliveb,cbosgd,ames}!amdahl!kim DDD: 408-746-8462 USPS: Amdahl Corp.
