[ale] OT Asus laptop stinkin' key legends coming off the stinkin' keys

[Lightner, Jeff]

E I would expect because it is the number one letter used (at least in English).  N is a surprise especially given that my E isn't an issue.

E above this email = 19
N above this email = 8

N is one of the most heavily used characters in our language.  Those
used most heavily will, all other things being equal, wear out first.  E
and A are the kings of the usage hill.  Curiously, on my keyboard, E is
fading, but A is not. So, there much be some variation in the quality of
the paint.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
