Pretty sure that's where I got my Mark 1 from. Good outfit as I recall. Jim -- http://www.ursaMinorBeta.co.uk http://twitter.com/GreyAreaUK "Get over here. Now.

Here a review > of the new model. http://j.mp/86i14O Looks nice. In fact, apart from the lack of a transparent plastic surround for the keys, it looks absolutely identical to the Mk 1 I bought N years ago at MacExpo from the nice Canadian on the Matias stand. Presumably that was Matias... That keyboard is still working a treat, so no sale... Anyway, if it breaks I have a Nimitz in the cupboard (OO-Errrr Missus) complete with a USB-ADB converter. I tried it last year, but I did actually prefer the Matias. -- Peter |
