Hear hear! I'm STILL using the great keyboard that came with my IIci years
ago. It's solid and reliable. I HATE the iMac keyboard and the mouse is even
worse(I use one at the office). How can we get Apple's attention on this
one? I agree, I'll throw mine into a closet somewhere.

Latest MacWorld mentioned one for about $40. I agree though. It is a major
oversight in my eyes.
