Based on the pictures that DJ posted later, it looks like his keyboard
is the same IBM model M that I have, and I sure as heck didn't "care-
fully source" a Super key-less keyboard.  As far as I know, the Windows/
Super key hadn't been invented when my keyboard was manufactured back in
1996.  (If it had been invented, it certainly wasn't ubiquitous.)

Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying.
