[NTLK] The more you know ... about the Newton keyboard.

[Victor Rehorst]

As a part time Model M keyboard enthusiast and proud owner of a Model M 
and M2, this is my kind of content!

 From the photo of the keyboard PCB 
(https://sharktastica.co.uk/resources/images/articles/apple_model_m/SNKB-M1995-61K-61_controller.jpg), 
there are two electrolytic capacitors on the board.  My IBM model M2, 
circa 1993, needed its electrolytic capacitor replaced around 2013 or 
so.  If anyone has a Newton keyboard giving them grief or that has 
stopped working, I'd wager that those caps need replacing.
