Anyone here who knows me at all also knows I'm a computer dufus. I can get around ok due mainly to a wife who first, wanted me to learn and second, has infinite patients. polarheart and gingersoul helped along the way too.
Anyway, about a year ago we got a new computer. Something happened to the keyboard, so I got my wife a Super-Duper-Ergonomic-Kickass Microsoft Keyboard. I loved that keyboard. I could type really well and it had all kinds of neat stuff on it.
But alas...our computer station is a snack station. A snack station is a crumb and mess station mixed with numerous sticky liquids. I couldn't guess how many pounds of junk that board collected, but I do know its death knell came via beyondtheveil through a large glass of Blackberry-Cranberry Juice. After cleaning up that particular mess, I lost seven keys - that I know of.
So I rushed to the nearest board store and there wasn't much choice. I ended up with a cheap rectangular board. Piece of crap. Seems like every time I hit the "a", I hit the 'Caps Lock' and would type three sentences before noticing. It didn't have the 'neat stuff' like a calculator. Or the one button to push for e-mail and my homepage.
After several screaming fits which required high blood pressure medicine, last weekend I went to a real board store (Office Depot) and got another Super-Duper-Ergonomic-Kickass-Microsoft Keyboard. And it's wireless. And the mouse is wireless. And it has an indentation on the Caps Lock key to keep me away from it. And it has all the goodies. So many I don't know what most of them are for. But I have instructions.
I'm careful with this one.
No free food.
No Blackberry-Cranberry Juice.
I push it inside the station when I eat and drink like a barbarian.
Life is good again.
