Brian,

I'm looking for some keycaps for a LA-36. Would it be possible for you to
grab me a couple of the LA-36's? I could re-reimburse you for expenses
incurred (like maybe shipping and a 6-pack?) I've got an original LA-36
(bought new), and the Wife thoughtfully vacuumed the "really dusty"
keyboard, and ate a couple of keycaps!

Thanks for your consideration!

Gary
