I have a new “wireless desktop”—which sounds very futuristic but actually means only that I have a new keyboard and mouse to replace my old keyboard and mouse. The mouse had developed random click-itis—when I clicked, I could never be sure if I would get no clicks, one click, two clicks, or unknown multiple clicks. Drove me crazy. Took it apart, blew it out with canned air, replaced the batteries—alas, no improvement. And I had worn the letters off my keyboard anyway. Does anyone else do that? I’ve worn the letters off every keyboard I’ve ever used.
Anyway. Here I am with a beautiful new wireless desktop. When I click once I get one click. And I had a ten-dollar discount card to sweeten the deal. Life is good.
I know, it doesn’t take much to make me happy. Heh.

yes, I wear out the letters on my keyboards too. Does this mean we have acidic fingerprints or something? Good thing I’m a touch typist…
A few weeks ago when The Broadcasting Legend’s computer was in the shop, he had to use mine. He doesn’t touch type, and he kept saying plaintively, “Where’s the M? Where’s the comma?” Heh. I hadn’t really even noticed yet with that particular keyboard. I understand there are sets of stick-on letters one can buy, but I don’t know if I’d like the feel of that. And the letters cost as much as just buying a new keyboard, anyway.
