Just keep saying it. Over and over. Even when she breaks the "T" key
completely off your key board so that now all  you have is a little rubber
nubby. I'm hoping I can just buy another "T" and not have to get a whole new
keyboard. Gagh. Why did it have to be the t. Why not X or Z??

Why not indeed. Just, well, maybe, perhaps, just pop off the Z, relabel it a T
for fun, and put it on the T key? Some keys pop on and off. Some don't. You
might want to run a color test before breaking your keyboard by accident. Do
you have a spare keyboard laying around or one from the trash that you can
liberate a T from?

Never know with these things. I just took apart a calculator whose keys froze.
I don't know why. All the keys fell out when I took out all the screws. Put the
thing back together and it works. I have no idea why it works now and not
before.

Same thing with my IBM laptop. The "L" stopped working. That's worse than a
"T" - not sure how much worse. I was so made I just stomped on that L and it's
been working fine, just does not make a click sound anymore but I can live with
an L that is silent as opposed to an L that is noisy and does not work.

OK, now I have two nubby keys. But that's ok. What's worse is Grant just
threw up some blood. Soooooo, that puts things in perspective. *sigh*
Believe I will be taking tomorrow off and taking Grant to the vet and the
computer to the shop.

Purrs for Grant to be OK (and purrs for your keyboard, too).

:) No, I have the "T". And I got the Z back on!! No, I'm afraid there is
something else going on. He threw up this am but there was no blood in it.
He ate again, but he has been doing the lip licking naseau thing all
morning. We have a 1:30 appt. I am just praying it is just hair.

Purrs that it wasn't anything major with Grant.

Make sure you don't take the puter to the vet and the cat to the shop.
It really could happen. ;)

Purrs that Grant will be OK. You can replace a keyboard, you can never
replace a cat.

Probably too late, but purrs and well wishes for Grant to feel better
soon.  As for the keyboard.  I figure that Dave Yehuddah was responsible
for me doing comparison pricing on keyboards at Staples.  I usually
spent about $25 for a new one.  I went through four of them thanks to
Dave.  I spent the most fun $100 in my life because of that man....

Oh it's not too late. I'm at work wondering how the poor boy is doing. He
had to go back for todays round of hunt the problem.

I found a place online that sells individual keys for a Mac iBook. This
place is great and has VERY inexpensive refurbished Macs too. If anyone is
interested it is http://www.wegenermedia.com/  and by golly, I ordered it
yesterday and it shipped last night!

You can get keyboards for $5 at Fry's. :-)

  Out of interest, why is an L worse than a T, since T is the commoner
letter in English?

Because my right hand rests on the keyboard and in typist fashion, my ring
finger is on the L key.

I use the L key a great deal. Things like l)oad or so it seems for some of my
keyboard shortcuts.

Although Samuel Morse [code] orginally deduced that T is more common than L by
looking at the typesets of printers, this may not be the case for my particular
needs. What works for the commoner does not work for me.

Luckily I found a place on line that sells just the keys. Apple doesn't!
They would make you buy a whole new stinkin' keyboard. I'd live with the
rubber nubby for a while before that.

If you visit places like Goodwill, you can often find keyboards for less
than five dollars.

Unfortunately not iBook keboards. I found a place on line though. Already on
its way.

Just to remind you that "T is for TUNA" - so you go out and buy some instead
of spending all day at the keyboard ;-)

Just don't tell my cats about this, please...
