The keyboard problem may be common--I've never heard it discussed anywhere, but it isn't all that well documented, otherwise I would have found some mention of it during numerous searches for it on Apple's site and Google. Or Charles Moore would've mentioned it, or Macfixit or someone... I wasted a lot of time searching on several occasions including today. As for the Wallstreet, you're right. The Wallsteet was the prior 233/250/292 mhz rev. The 233, 266 and 300 mhz Powerbooks introduced Sept. 1998 are PDQs. I have always called it a Wallstreet however, and I'll probably keep on doing that out of habit. See: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g3/faq/technical_performance.html "The second and third revisions of the PowerBook G3 series shipped in a new case design, and are usually called the "Wallstreet" or "PDQ" (Pretty Damn Quick) PowerBook G3 series, referring to the codenames for the second and third revisions, respectively. Apple generally refers to these models as the "PowerBook G3 Series" to distinguish them from the original PowerBook G3. The second revision included the PowerBook G3/233, G3/250, and G3/292, and the third revision included the G3/233 (a different version), G3/266, and G3/300."
