Not that I don't believe it didn't happen (how many negatives is that?;-), but the USAToday link quoted $4,850 for 62 keyboards being replaced. That is $78 per keyboard! No wonder we have to pay such ridiculously high taxes... Well, the keyboard is $18. You have to pay someone $60 to come in and change it out. The government should consider itself lucky to get them for that. We have totally stopped doing business with government because of the hassle in getting your money. I suppose Home Depot feels the same way. They recently said they will not, under any circumstances, sell product to government. If a government employee comes in to buy product, they tell him to go next door. I'd say $78/keyboard sounds about right.
