[CAUT] CX-21 hardwood keybuttons, OOPS, OOPS

[Alan McCoy]

Hello,

I'm just rereading my post. I called them "hardwood" keybuttons. I meant
"hardboard" key buttons, as in the stuff they make pegboard out of. I have
rebushed lots of hardwood buttons and they are wonderful indeed.

Does this "slight" revision, lead to different responses?

See you in Rochester.

Alan
