[CAUT] Symptom descriptions

[Chris Solliday]

Bob Marinelli had some carbon fiber sheets we were gluing to the sides of
keys, it seemed to work well. i tried a few samples myself and decided i
would usually sell a new keyboard for my own work. I have used shoes and
battons or extended buttons ala John Hartman (don't ya miss his brain?) to
good effect but generally a new keyboard helps other things too and is the
way i go. Chris Solliday
