A friend of mine in Halifax hated the aluminium-chiclet keyboard that came with her iMac, so she went to Futureshop and bought what they told her to buy... sigh. It's worked for the past year or so, but the keys have started to misfire and in general it's acting up.
She gave away her iMac original keyboard (sigh), but is willing to get another one now and "cope" with it.
Or.... I suggested she find one on eBay / etc that suits her typing style (she'd go back to the old manual typewriter if she could). Her previous iMac with the large keys and decent stroke worked well for her... so that's what I'm looking for.
I believe its a model A1048. Anyone have something like that for sale? Shipping to Nova Scotia. We could do Paypal.
I have a brand new one. Still in the box and plastic protection underneath.
I do have a paypal account.
Can she afford what it will cost me for a replacement KB plus postage to NS?
Sorry for the delay, guys - I just assumed I'd be getting notifications of follow-ups to this post.
speckledmind: yup, that's the one.
jmlachance: perhaps not I found a "like new" one on eBay for $10 + $24 shipping from Toronto..... Still, a new-in-box would be nice (no grime or contaminants). What are you asking?
What am I asking? Well, close to replacement cost plus postage. How about $60 including postage?
A new one, which I'll need to buy eventually,like everything else, will cost me close to that..
