I've been told, and have read, that these are a very good product. A bit
pricy, but the feel is supposed to be divine. I ordered a 104-key with the
Cherry Blue switches. I promise a report. I'm typing this on an original IBM
101 model M -- which I'm going to disassemble, clean, and keep as a backup.

Dear Russ

Until I package the keyboard I won't know exactly but cheapest rate appears
to approximately £30 which will be roughly $50-$51. An express service
would be $68.

I am away early next week until 20 January so if you want to go ahead, I'll
make the arrangements when I get back.

I assume you know that the UK keyboard is slightly different to the US.
 It still makes the same noise, however.

Best wishes

Paul
