[CUBE] New laptops, keyboard, mouse

[Daniel Love]

I too had problems with the black keys and soft feel so . . . I 
recently purchased one of the Kensington "StudioBoard Mechanical 
Keyboards". It has a very sturdy feel and the feedback is like the 
"old" ADB extended keyboards of past. It is white and clear like the 
present day Apple products. Cost is about $80. My mouse is a Kensington 
Optical two button with scroll wheel.
