Grandpa Doug:
I loved your story. I can really identify with the part about "scratches" on the keyboard. Impeccable workmanship is a big deal with me. Before buying, I look all around the edges carefully--everywhere. If I've got to stare at a keyboard for hours, I don't want to see an imperfection every time I turn it on. How about dust or fingerprints behind the screen? Ever seen that? I had a Roland once where all the printing came off that identify the button functions. That was a nightmare.
