Great arguments pro and con.= Turns out that the keys have a little side to side play, but= not as much as I'd previously thought. What it does have,= though, is an unevenly spaced keyboard. Perhaps that made me= think the bushings were funky, and my memory, not being what it= once was, was faulty. But now I'm having one helluva time trying to budge these puppies= with my combination handle key spacing tool. Does anybody make= a combination T-handle? Guy Nichols' tool with the T handle sounds like a great idea. Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
