You're right, of course. I always get confused because of the A3010,  
which had green function keys. (Which I always thought looked much  
nicer than red.)

I think the idea was that red ones were for business and education,  
and green ones were for home use.

A big thank you to Alex Taylor, who is providing me with an A3020.  
Maybe one day I'll also find a broken A3010 and transplant the  
keyboard so that I can have green F-keys. ;)

PS. So, er, anyone got any A3020 network cards spare? :)
