hmm interesting. I just dug it out of the closet and plugged it in. The majority of it works. 1, 0, and . on the num pad, down, left, and right arrows, space bar, and the command key on the right side all don't work. All of those keys are on the bottom row, so i'm not real sure whats wrong with it. It may just be a loose wire or something else easy to fix. If I had the right tools, I'd open it up myself and see whats wrong, but i can't go spending more money when im trying to save for a G4

I got the hard drive, the enet/modem and the encyclopedia. They all work just as they should and ThePowerToBurn was easy to work with.
