Last time I went to the eye doctor, he told me to read the lowest line on the eye chart. I replied "M,A,D,E, I,N, C,H,I,N,A" Jerryghr
I used to do that too ... of course I was much younger then ...

The neat thing about those metal keyboards is when they get bent they usually stay bent. Most of the newer plastics are similar to ABS plastic, which will never bend, and you cannot melt it with a propane torch - I know this because I tried to melt a length for a surf-fishing rod spike holder. I heated it for 10 minutes and it would not soften. I finally gave up and used PVC plastic, which I heated with a heat gun and it softened, but that took a lot longer than I anticipated. Keep in mind that there are plastics that are now much stronger than steel and a fraction of the weight for the same structural integrity. Keeping the weight down adds to the profit margin for the manufacturer by decreasing the cost of shipping, which is very expensive from China, Japan and other nations sending gear to the US and UK. Using strong, lightweight plastic does not effect the quality of the keyboard, and making it out of steel does not make the product better - it just makes it heavier and increases the cost of shipping.
