[DM-MUG] Wanted: Broken Keyboards (donations)

Had I received this message just 30 minutes ago, I'd have had one to donate
-- one from a Bondi iMac with the USB cord pulled out.

Unfortunately, I had a little fun "parting it out" myself before putting it
in the trash.  Kept a few keytops (replaced some missing/broken ones on
other keyboards), and hung the Bondi underbelly on my wall.

However, if I do come up with any more, I'll be sure and contact you.  Any
use for ADB, PS-2, or 5-pin serial keyboards?

Peace,
CW
