I just phone the 1-800 number for NeXT to tell them about my problems with their newest keyboard and ask for solutions. They told me that I could order an old style keyboard from my campus computer store. I can buy a new old one with the backslash in a sane position. Huray! -- Doug DeJulio dd26@andrew.cmu.edu

Huray! > Doug DeJulio Excuse me for being a bit rude, but I hardly think that it is good news that they swap the keyboards on you, and then tell you you are fortunate to be able to buy a functional one. Next they will package a 100 by 100 kiloPel monitor, and then tell you are lucky you can fork out $$$ to buy a real one. The micro-computer store here sold me a keyboard once when I fill my old one with coffee... It costs $125... and you do not get to keep the old one. pasc -- Pascal Chesnais, Research Specialist, Electronic Publishing Group Media Laboratory, E15-348, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, Ma, 02139 (617) 253-0311 email: lacsap@plethora.media.mit.edu (NeXT)
