    Announce: Inverted-T Cursor Keys for System 6+ Macs (INIT)

    Not to be a downer, but other than the original 128k/512k keyboard, why not just map this to the number pad?

    Anyone have an SE speaker?

    As a complete anecdote, all my machines have spent the vast majority of their lives in temperature and humidity controlled conditions. I’ve yet to have a speaker go bad.

    PowerBook 1400 battery - what cell type?

    Correction, I meant to write two hours in my above post as well.

    PowerBook 1400 battery - what cell type?
