I think you mentioned needing a model m a little while ago in  
November too.

I had written a reply, but did not hear back from you.  Here it  
is again..

In the meantime, I've posted a couple of pics:

The E13601EL is a "soft touch", (not clicky).  I specifically  
wanted a much quieter keyboard at that time.  I'm going to try  
and test it to make sure nothing is wrong with it.
