beermatOh dear.
I don't think I should be allowed to work with computers anymore.
they wind me up too much.
Afraid my last MS bent keyboard has just met its maker (silicon heaven, not his Billness) via me, anger, and a hammer.
My Win2K machine got its knickers in a twist and decided that it had a mysterious "shift lock", with all letter keys giving upper case (regardless of state of caps lock). and number & punctuation keys stuck giving their shifted state. Try mysterious combination of right control / shift / alt keys which seemed to cure it last time it went this cretenous. No cure this time. still shifted. oh, hang on, now the screens gone to the "locked, please enter password" screen. Oh dear. How can I enter the password when the keys arent doing what they should be doing. I know, I'll use this handy hammer to enter my password. That'll teach the fucker a lesson.
Am currently typing on an old HP "straight" keyboard. Yuk, it's horrible! Have put the hammer away safely somewhere.
Pity I'm not employed anywhere where they couldsend me on an anger management course. Simple, anger management == don't use a bloody computer.
Sigh. have to go buy some more bent keyboards now. Then do a fresh Win2Kpro install for my main PC I think as something somewhere somhow on this (1+yr old) install is a bit screwy keyboardwise...

Date: 2003-10-11 03:12 am (UTC)Saw & used the bent keyboard in a colleagues cube there, he wouldn't let me take it away with me (surprise, eh :) so had to get some shipped over after a couple of weeks when the lab had finished testing them against BIOS builds...
