    glue

    so yesterday, i had a screensaver running for the first time ever on my laptop. apparently, my cat couldn't resist and i guess he somehow managed to rip off the covers to my F,V and J keys. it seems they work just fine, so is it worth gluing them back on? if so, what kind of glue should i use?
    thank you, dan henderson.

    You sure they're glued on? On all the keyboards I've had they just snap on.

    I thought this thread was going to be about something interesting, like eating paste that smells like mint.

    If it doesn't snap back on, use super glue, but only a small drop.

    I took all mine off to clean them one time and wasn't sure where some of them went so I painted them all black!

    Re: glue

    I had a bunch of keys pop off my system and asked about glue once. Ended up they just snapped back which is a good thing because it was work's laptop!

    Re: glue

    When I was in college, my roommate used a big spoon to snap off most of my keys and rearranged them on my keyboard. I decided to just leave them - it really made me a better typist.

    So yeah, they usually snap on/off.

    Re: glue

    Key covers are bloated anyway. You don't need them.
    Code:
    while true; do echo -n "RiceMonster "; done

    If you have a University near by you, they usually sell off excess/used supplies like keyboards for as low as a buck, give it a gander.
