[ "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 ... :-) :-) ...
