<P><BR>Ok Joe...</P>
<P>I didn't know there was a plethra of different thickness keytop mate=
rial to choose from. Why not describe how you make up the di=
fference between keytop material and ivory for instance...you have=
keytop material as thin as ivory? Would you want it that t=
hin? If you don't care about thickness difference how sharp=
height in relation to keytop? How about fresh material to =
glue to? </P>
<P>I'm wondering if you are shooting from the hip again...</P>
