I've never actually replaced a laptop keyboard... I've removed,
dismantled, repaired and replacd a few though.  Ugly, quirky and not
recommended, results are mixed, but if the machine is old, it's better
than chucking the machine.

They should add something about retro computing.  For a while in the
early 90's I had a passing interest in things like the Coco model 1, the
TRS-80, the Timex Sinclair 1000, Commodore pet and C=64.  The machines
were mostly slightly before my time or, in the case of the C=64, I
didn't have access to it when it was in its heyday.
