YES, I do remember! hahaha. It was always this:

10 PRINT "I AM A COMPUTER" (or some other message)
20 GOTO 10

RUN

Do this on all the computers and then walk away, lol.

What leads you to believe that this has Alps compatible keycaps and domes (http://www.ebay.com/itm/151802838940?afsrc=1&rmvSB=true)? I kinda wanna roll the dice but I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

I've purchased EZ keyboards before and they have Alps sliders. The one I purchased specifically was a Macally EZ key.

It is a dome, but the keycaps should be Alps compatible. I have my own set, and if he is interested he can always contact the seller, that's how I verified mine before purchase.
