How can one survive in this do-box world without one's amy? I have a major crisis on my hands right now, my amy500 keyboard is shouting MUTINY! It all started out with the left shift key not functioning well. This evening, my fears were confirmed and there is now a major problem in the keyboard. When I pressed the dying key, the power light flickered and then died. I temporarily revived the computer later, but now it is shut down on a more permanent basis. Anyways, since I am in a captive market right now I would like to find out what a reasonable price would be for a new keyboard. Or, if by chance someone else has a dead Amy that put that body donor sticker on its driver's licence, I would extend the invitation for them to donate something to science. I would compensate themfor the dismemberment of their lost loved one, for of course, it cannot be bronzed after the surgery. Seriously now, I -- NEEEEEED -- TO -- GET -- MY -- AMIGA -- RUNNING! I need it to program for my system's software class. If anyone can offer any help, or give me an address where I can order something, please do. As a last resort, I can sell my sister into slavery to pay the local prices. Please reply to MCARTSHA@UREGINA1 (bitnet). Your help is greatly appreciated. Shan McArthur

You may want to try cleaning the innards and the cable connections before selling your sister ... J.Baker.
