Model M Keyboard problem

10 Jun 2010

...
   This alas is
not a problem for me any more. Poor Pentina passed away
 yesterday. So I will no longer get fur in my keyboards and will no longer
 had an orange xtrreak trying to trip me up when I'm carrying a CRT. I
 really miss him already :-(  
 Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, man. My sympathies. 
Thank you. He was a great companion to me as I was fixing classic computers.

Unforutnately, towards the end of last week he had difficulty swallowing. 
We took him to a vet (as I mentioned some months back, a cat is about the 
only thing I wouldn;'t try to repair myself), and he discovered he had 
serious cancer in his mouth. He couldn't breate properly, and the vet 
said there was nothing that could be done to help him. 

I am seriously considering giving a home ot another cat sometime. Not to 
replace Pentina, you can't replace a cat. But a different friend to sit 
on my service manuals, shed hairs in my disk drives, try to trip me up, 
and so on.
