You know, there's been all this talk about IBM doing the proper double- injection-molded keytops on the PS/2 keyboards in this thread.... Tell me, then, on this IBM PS/2 keyboard I've got sitting on my desk, how did they get two different colors of lettering on the number-pad keys? :) (Actually, on closer look, this one appears not to be double-molded. Still solid and has every appearance of indestructability, though. It's vintage-1993, for what that's worth.) - Brooks
