- Why don't you try to fix it? Most of the time a sticky key
- merely has an easily fixed mechanical problem. One morning
- I came downstairs to find that kitty had upchucked on my
- keyboard (learned my lesson, now it's covered when I leave
- the machine for more than a few minutes). I took the thing
- apart, cleaned it up (which included completely
- disassembling a couple of the key switches) and all was
- well.
