Go to http://www.justdeals.com/Items/Item....KU=968019-0403

and you'll see one for $3.95. I rounded up to $5.

You forgot the $6.95 S&H.

That makes it a $10.90 keyboard. I'll round it up to $11.00

Try again.

If you're not convinced how germ ridden your computer keyboard is, whatever
the price, take a look at this study by Arizona University
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3505414.stm

And if you really want to be put off drinking that coffee or eating your
Boscotti over your keyboard...this report may just do that!!

Nope, I didn't forget it.

The OP suggested buying a "Dishwasher Safe" keyboard from an online
source. Undoubtedly that has S&H costs too. The point of my reply to
him was that one could buy several ordinary keyboards for the same
price as his special one, and that, in my view, it didn't make
economic sense to buy the special one.

Feel free to disagree, and to buy whatever keyboards you want. I won't
argue with you about it.

I've avoided asking until now, but "boscotti" has been repeated here
enough times that I have to ask: *what* is "boscotti"?


Is this perhaps a repeated typo for "biscotti"?

You caught the error Ken. I'd better head for the confessional.

Sorry Don, my recipe spells it 'Boscotti'...but I'm an alien from across the
pond with not a trace of Italian in my blood, so what do I know??

You can come out of the confessional now!
