For a couple of years now, I haven't seen _any_ keyboards with a built-in 
touchpad in any of the stores.  Although apparently ALPS no longer makes 
this model, someone did point me to an on-line company that has some models 
from another company available.

I already have a couple of the $10 keyboards lying around unused, which if 
worse came to worse I guess I could use until I could get one of the 
others.  Fortunately, though, the smell seems to be greatly diminished from 
last night (though earlier one of the cats did sniff out and start licking 
one of the soiled spots on the keyboard, though I had to stop him because 
he was pushing buttons and I was afraid he would interrupt the program I 
was running), and (knock wood) so far the keyboard still seems to be 
working as well as it was yesterday.
