No thanks. I'm already over-invested in orphaned products and
historical curios.

A few things are worth going the extra mile for, though. There was a
guy who used to be active on CIS, who repaired Northgate keyboards. I
think Carl or Robert gave me a Linux-related lead on finding him.
Never followed that up, but yesterday I found another guy who has a
side business of cleaning and repairing them. He charges $55., plus
you pay the shipping both ways. I was probably going to toss my first
Omnikey-102, which developed serious problems a couple years ago, but
now I think I may roll the dice on this. He also sells reconditioned
Northgates, I think with a 90 day warranty.
