there are several "diagrams" (of the physical placement of parts) available for the '31 ... these are not easy to get and most fellows that have them compile them from the stuff that other chaps have . if you are needing a genuine set of schematics for the '31 series ... this is even harde...

i agree with shawn ... 30K hours on a '31 is not overly long ... the big advantage here is the use of leds in the '31 versus ccfls in the '30 (and other machines) . if it were a machine with ccfls and that many hours i too would pass or resign myself to replacement of the ccfls . yessir ... i have s...

nice pictures ... i like the "wild root" picture ... takes me back to "ozzie's barbershop" when i was a wee tyke . the picture of the burning truck with a 5 gallon water bottle in the foreground is great : "an exercise in futility" . around town , there are several &quo...

i have seen keyboards that are hinged in the middle .
i am not too keen on them .

the elastomeric type seem to fill the bill better .
for field work , being a somewhat "sealed unit" is an asset .
i believe that bluetooth is the way to go ... no usb cable to get in the road and/or snagged .

i ordered up the 15 buck special ... i aint holding my breath . i looked on aliexpress ... the cheapest was 28 bucks . i noticed some cheapo tablets at aliexpress . while many of these things com with 'roid or ubuntu , i would like to be able to load linux mint 13 (or higher) on one . i'll check out...

hey all , i was looking for a couple of items over at sleazebay and a "relative advertisement" about laser keyboards was displayed : http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=bluetooth+laser+virtual+keyboard&_sop=15 has anyone had any dealings with these items ? i ...
