Kind of steep for the grey market too.  Not that he isn't a nic,e guy, but
second hand is second hand.

By the way, is there a fix for the parallelagram (sp?) keyboard problem?
I mean the one where I type nice to fast, and pick up the comma to go with
the "ice".  I am not sure what this is.  I'm not just spazzing, I type
quickly.  It's not all that annoying, as there are not all that many words
which have 3 letters forming a parallelagram.
