I think this thread started with Silitek keyboards? Bill, out of interest,
what Silitek product code does your new SGI keyboard have on it?

Now I'm in work, my keyboard here is a Silitek SK1000-REW. If *anyone* knows
where I could buy a couple of these new-ish (in the UK ideally), I'd love to
hear. They're the keyboards Dell used to supply about, err, 3 years ago with
OptiPlexes.

These buggers...
