hi.  could we get a new keyboard for csw (sunblade in the sipb office
nearest the entrance.)?  it's effectively impossible to input the
characters "b" or "m" on the old one.  it's definitely the keyboard and
not the machine---the keyboard exhibits the same dysfunctional behavior
on other machines.

currently we're using an old ps/2 keyboard on it, but this demands an
awkward workaround, as there are certain key signals that don't make it
through our ps/2 --> usb translation accurately.

alex.
