The shift keys are lazy, you see, and sometimes don't bother to work. Also, sometimes I get extra letters, whether I press the corresponding keys or not. I am trying to be

Is it just me or are keyboards not your friends?

Sounds like it's time to request a new keyboard!

No, it's not just you. I'm happy to report that this is not my doing, at least. There is no lemonade in this keyboard. My regular abacus has died, and until it is replaced I'm using a loaner laptop, which is approximately six squillion years old. I think it's pretty tired at this point, and the keyboard seems resentful of all the tapping that's going on. i think its refusal to cooperate with me is the equivalent of a constant stream of bitching and moaning about its aches and pains. We're kindred spirits, really, this keyboard and I. ;)

Maybe you could offer the keyboard some nice, hot tea and biscuits?

Look at this really cute mushroom that appeared in my email next to an ad for checking your credit score.

[trista]

Hee! I'll give it a shot. i wonder if it prefers its tea hot or iced?

You know how I feel about mushrooms ordinarily, but that one is awfully cute. I wonder what the positioning says, though, with it next to an ad for checking your credit score? "Hey, look what's buried under this pile of poo! It's your credit score!" How very reassuring. ;)

Except that quirky usually makes me think odd in a charming manner. So far, the kydb fails to charm.

[trista]

Exactly.

Just spill a dew in it.

Or a Crystal Light lemonade. That's what got my last ergonomic keyboard, I think. That's been years ago now, though. Perhaps I have broken the curse?
