getting sound in Sid

I apparently have ALSA on Debian Sid on a Thinkpad, or at least alsa-mixer seems set up correctly. But $ speaker-test makes no sound. # lspci | grep audio returns nothing. So I wondered if alsa drivers are installed. Soundcore is installed, but I discovered there is no longer any alsa-modules

Iceweasel 38.2 seems broken

After a Wheezy upgrade to iceweasel 38.2.1esr-1~deb7ui, iceweasel does not display when started. An iceweasel process starts, but X server does not pick it up. The terminal gives me: console.error: [CustomizableUI] Custom widget with id loop-button does not return a valid node

Re: quality keyboards

Back in the 1990s I purchased several IBM M-5 keyboards for about $5 each. The only one that died was the one I poured alcohol into in order to clean it out. Perhaps some are still around at a reasonable price.
