Well I'll sure keep an eye out for the replacement keyboard. I did manage to find one on eBay but it is literally more expansive than what I paid for the entire IIe. That is of course, just unacceptable.

I'm going to do some more inspection on how to clear up the keyboard and get it working, worst thing I could do is break it and have to buy a new one anyway, so why not. It may just need a shot of WD-40, which may or may not short out the entire thing, but meh

Thanks for the advice on the monitor. I'll probably be using it more for games, as I don't really have a need to do text editing on it since I own a good 4 PCs atm. The Monitor II is a little less expensive, but I think I can spend a bit more for function.

As for the system disks, etc, anyone got a good source? I did manage to find a repository, but it requires administrator activation of the account, and I applied over a week ago :[
