Save your receipts!

I bought a Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 back in November when I was working with that jury-rigged netbook setup because I couldn't stand typing on its small keyboard. It had no PS/2 plug so I couldn't plug in one of my other retired keyboards; I had to get a USB-connected one.

About a week ago the comma key (and its upper-case alter ego, the LT key) on this new keyboard began to fail intermittently, as did the numeric keypad's zero key. Now, there's a one-year manufacturers limited warranty on this thing, but I tossed the receipt, so returning it was not an option (not to mention I'd still need a keyboard while I waited for Microsoft to replace it). So today I went out and spent $26.16 (tax incl.) for a replacement keyboard, same model, same limited warranty. This time I'll save the receipt.
