Sweet Lemony Fresh Victory is Mine!

Thanks Wes, I had already found it and now my new keyboard is in and working
fine :)

My mistake was looking for a round hole on the side rather than a slot as
seen from the bottom.

Well this $31 investment couple with switching from Gnome to twm desktop
will probably extend the life of this system another year at least !
