Hi Joshua,
The promise of a good laptop keyboard is making me reminisent of my old Sony
VAIO GRV680 (still stored away for refashioning one day Admittedly it was
more of a desktop replacement laptop than a lean setup.).

I was debating it back and forth after I saw the first email from
Christopher. And a week or so before they reached their goal I took the
