Keyboard Abuse

The most overlooked advantage to owning a computer is that if they foul up, there's no law against whacking them around a little. ~ Eric Porterfield

When I got my most recent laptop, my DH replaced the keyboard on my old one and it was given to my mom to replace her broken desktop. I didn't really think all that much about the keyboard being wrecked because it was a refurb and I figured it came that way.

Until the other day when my DH came over, looked at my computer and said, "You did it again."

I did?

I looked at the keyboard like I'd never seen it before.



Sure enough I did. I couldn't figure out how I'd dug a big chunk out of my "N" key.



How the heck did that happen? I did some typing and watched my hands, and it turns out that I use the tip of my fingernail to type the "N" (and the "M", but I must not use that letter as much).

Additionally, on my last keyboard, I'd worn off the letters on the "E" and the "S". So, I checked it out on the new one.



Yep, they're well on their way.

Sheesh ... Do I really pound that hard on my stuff? Anyone else have this problem?

You Are Merry Christmas

You are a traditionalist when it comes to the holidays, and you aren't going to be politically correct about it. You celebrate Christmas, and you don't think there's any reason to hide it. Most other people celebrate it too. You are content to wish everyone a "Merry Christmas." It doesn't have to be a religious thing. "Happy Holidays" is just too generic for your taste. You aren't going to tone down your greeting for anyone.

What Holiday Greeting Are You?

Yep -- Merry Christmas, everyone!
