Really, wow!  Thanks, I have been talking to Jim at pckeyboards.com (they
make the current incarnation of the IBM Model Ms) about why they
discontinued their all black Customiser 101s and then found out that even
the original Model M13s (the black ones with built-in trackpoint pointers)
also used painted on lettering instead of molded in lettering like the
beige ones.  Anyhow, I'll definitely investigate the Saitek Eclipse too.

And they said Usenet was dead.  Pffft.
