Walt Mossberg is retiring from tech journalism and has published an article highlighting several 'iconic' items from his personal collection, including the venerable Model 100! Shame his machine is missing a key, someone should help him out. ;)

I think we're discussing removing scratches from the LCD, not retrobright. But as regards retrobright, many people have had posiive results that still remain after 4 or 5 years; maybe you're doing it wrong ;-) ... m - Original Message - From: Brian White To: m...@bitchin100.com

That's gotta be a pretty standard toggle switch, right? The service manual gives a RS and a mfr part number, but neither of those numbers turn up anything useful on the goog. Any chance there's markings visible on the switch housing that might point to a manufacturer at least? On Mon, Jun 12,
