I bought a waterproof keyboard cover a while ago, while it was on sale.
What you get is a form to fill out and mail to the manufacturer. You
put
in the keyboard make and model, and some other identifying info, and
they send back the cover. Mine cost about $20 including shipping, from
Newark Electronics. I'm sure the major PC catalog outfits (PC
Warehouse,
Inmac, Global Computer Supplies, etc.) have these, too.
