[Groop] Groopie & the Collateral Damage

[Tom Albitz]

Yep, getting the keyboard fixed should be cheap, but getting your 
hubby's butt put back on properly might just run you into bankruptcy...

They will need to know your mac model (apple in the upper left --> about this mac) just to be sure.  If its just the key that is damaged and not part below the key (if you press the holy key and still get a C on screen, it works), then its simple and you should leave with your computer in 10 minutes.  If they dont have an old keyboard to rob a C key from, then perhaps a local apple repair shop would.  The apple store might be able to direct you to such a place.  You should be able to get this fixed with out being charged.
