Got a little overzealous this morn vaccumming (houseboy's day off) & sucked the 'M' right off my keyboard. Dustbunny scavenger hunt is an option but was wondering if there's somewhere local i can buy a replacement key? It's an acer laptop.
i'd like to buy an 'M'

I can't think of any place that will sell you a single replacement key for your keyboard.
But you should be able to find a new keyboard for as little as $15-20. Keyboards are pretty standard, there's only afew different connectors.
If you're in doubt, unplug the keyboard and bring it with you to the computer retailer, the sales person will be able to find one with a compatible connector.

crap, missed the "laptop" part.
I'm pretty sure you'd have to go to the dealer/manufacturer for a replacement.
Outside chance that you might find something at the computer clearance warehouse at 3083 Grandview Hwy.

A keyboard can be pluged into a USB Port/PS2 port if there are extra ports on the laptop. Its a good way if you can't type worth shit like me, when you have long nails and don't like the small area*sheepish*
Lots of different model replacement keys on ebay but none for Acer. Replacement keyboards for most Acer models run around $50 US
Just dig...

I'd like to buy an "M" alright, but couldn't afford the $60,000 for a brand new one!
VV you can use the W on the boards, we will just think you were upside down when you typed the M....... LOL Were a pretty understanding bunch you know....
But seriously if you want to do magic trick, it's will cost you ..... You will have to come clean my place...(not my wallet) PS. all my computers are off limites tooo....LOL all you have to do is Press and Hold the ALT button, and press 109, then release..... Should be an m, for a capital M, ALT 77...
You owe me now.... remember that! LOL
Some very creative replies here. I would suggest talking to a company that refurbishes and repairs laptops and possibly sells them. If all else fails use your incredible feminine wiles to vocally seduce an M out of someone. You might want to spank your houseboy for not realising you might accidentally suck a M off.

They used to be cool a few years ago. They had the free bench and the museum in the back. Now there's a hurtin vitamin store there and Cal's gone just the name remains. IMO the place sucks.
Actually sunshine, that's the first thing i did. Unfortunately i have a central vac system with an enormous cannister that was (murphy's law) full. Not everyone has small equipment like you, toots.
Hubby
Those chiseled jaw types V fantasizes about in that other thread are tough to distinguish between when you get a room---or a beach full of them.
V may have to devise a way to make sure she took home hubby, ie. they could take a few steps--he would be the one with the limp.
Cosmo-- V with a hubby, the fella would have to get accustomed to that strap-on, yikes, and all the vacuming, scrubbing etc.And here, for a second - after reading Bobbivan's admission of pending nuptials, I thought VV might be pining for Marriage.
Only for a second tho.
