a question, not exactly about this site, but related abit....
Has anyone else worn off all the letters on your keyboard?
I can only see 7 of them, the rest are gone, lol.
My question is..what would be the best way to print them back on.
I tried magic marker but it wore off fast.
Any ideas?

BJ,
Wow..how generous of you.
Thank you, but I really don't need a new keyboard...it works fine. Just need to re-write the letters on the keys.
I'm thinking maybe some black nailpolish might work.
My acrylic paints wouldn't adhere to the plastic for very long.
Thanks again...SO kind of you, brother! Consider yourself kissed on the cheek.

Well, I did it.
I unplugged it and cleaned it all, then used black acrylic paint to paint in the letters with a very small detail brush.
Then I topped them with a coat of varnish...a type used to paint on glass, so that should stay put for awhile.
While I was at it, I turned the keyboard upside down and worked at it with a knife to get about 1/8th of a cup of crumbs that had accumulated under the keys.
It seems that SOMEONE's been eating at the computer. lol
