[ale] In praise of MicroSoft

Okay, so they seldom do something right. It does make their successes 
all the more interesting.

I just took apart my old MS Ergonomic keyboard. I've had it for years, 
used the heck out of it, and can't identify most of the spills, pet 
hairs, and other science experiment type things on it. The thing was 
easy to take apart and appears to be fairly modular. I can wash the key 
sets in a bucket of water and dry them off without having to worry about 
electronics. There were soft rubbery pads between the key sets and the 
electronic stuff underneath, and the entire assembly came apart nicely.

Hopefully I'm smart enough to put it back together and can use it for 
years to come.
