[Sderby] Short Keyboard?

[James Carter]

I think I will bring a keyboard to the meeting today and have a look 
inside perhaps we can discuss it. I don't have a old laptop. If I had I 
would have used it as the firewall (thats what the keboard is for) I am 
reluctant to buy a keyboard at this price as it will double the cost of 
the firewall.

Has anyone got an old keyboard I can buy and hack up?
I have a soldering kit (and a hacksaw!)

Perhaps a project for this afternoon?
