Don't worry... seems the silliness is spread rather evenly in in this
discussion.
By the way... I have a Challangeer C2-4P. I remember getting Chilly
fingers from that keyboard as well.

Typing on a cold machine?!! Now THAT brings back
memories.
I remember borrowing a friend's OSI Challenger 1P one winter.
With a metal case, and a fan that sucked air IN to the computer, and forced
it out the keyboard, that was one COLD cold cold way to program!!

dead give-away that it isn't the original?
