Apple’s third-generation butterfly keyboard was supposed to fix all the previous defects but buyers are still having problems
Do a google search for “Appl Still Hasn't Fixd Its MacBook Kyboad Problm”. The linked Wall Street Journal article is hilarious.

The linked Wall Street Journal article is hilarious. My daughters new--three months--MacBook Air keyboard has unusable o and e keys.
Victoria “Cookie” Acot used to tell people she lived next to Princeton. But in recent years, she’s begun to boast about where she actually lives. “I can start telling people where Montgomery is and what we have,” says Acot, a mother of two who moved here seven years ago to raise her kids, now 10 and 15. “I really do like living here because of all these amenities and still having that private, rural feel.”
Montgomery is a bucolic Somerset County township that offers a little bit of everything in its 32 square miles. Founded by a mix of Dutch and English settlers, it was incorporated in 1798 and sits nearly halfway between Philadelphia and New York.
Businesses are nice to help keep taxes down, but the beauty of this town is its spectacular outdoor spaces. In fact, nearly one-third of Montgomery is preserved open space or farmland—any resident would be hard-pressed to spend a day not passing land or homes with historic landmark status. Whether it’s the township’s portion of the 4,000-acre Sourland Mountain Preserve or the 256-acre Skillman Park, tons of green spaces and dozens of miles of trails abound.
We've lived in Montgomery 17 years and raised two kids here. 17 years is the longest that I have lived in anyone place. Bhavna's family all live in town now.
I love it here.
I had a rough few days with my left eye. At my last visit with the eye specialist at Wills Eye, I was told that the pressure in both eyes had reduced. However, both eyes were suffering from dryness. I was advised to use Systane Ultra and Refresh Octave as often as once every hour. Each night I have lubricated my eyes with an ointment to keep them from drying out.
My eyes felt better this morning, but this evening the dryness feels worse despite heavy use of the artificial tears. I was in pain at dinner, and I am in pain now. I want this all to be over, but it seems I have to be patient. It could take months (or years) to resolve my Graves Eye Disease.
