That's an excellent idea, Mike; long overdue. Beautiful polished wood cases
for desktops should have a nice niche amongst the beige-hating tasteful
(count me in :-)
Have you thought about a wooden keyboard? Finicky, but I would think it was
doable. Also, maybe a wooden mouse; with both of these you should be able to
replace the plastic casing & keys I would think.
