Frustration is...

Unread postby Justice Augustus » Fri Feb 02, 2007 8:13 am

Typing 7 pages of your thesis on a four-year-old keyboard where the connections on the following keys are so loose you have to literally thump them to get them to work: G W N O D

Do you have any idea how hard it is to write about Gallic Druids when your FREAKING G AND D KEYS DO NOT WORK? ARGH!

This has been a vent.

And yet these days ASDA's sell keyboards for £15 which could of solved all your frustration problems.

Ho hum.

Well keep pounding away dude! I salute your work ethic, if not your common sense. *salutes*

15 pounds? Geeze! Goodwill sells keyboards for, like, $2, $5 tops. Sometimes they have the awesome clack-clackies, at that. Go find your local charity second-hand shop and hoard up.

The problem with getting a second-hand keyboard from a thrift store would be the fact that there's about a 50%-60% chance it won't work. Hence the hoarding up, I suppose.

At least smashing those keys in insures that you're damned sure about what you're putting down, ha?

Keyboards aren't as popular in England as they are in America. Due to the great Keyboard riot of 04 prices have sky rocket'ed

Can't everyone just learn to get along?

With their keyboards?

It's a laptop. I'm just to lazy to transfer my documents over to my new flashy desktop.

figures, Desktop keyboards are more durable, my "A" key has been struck so many times that there is a HOLE right in the middle of it, yet it still works wonderfully.

I did that with my old desktop keyboard; I rubbed off several of the letters, there were no longer "finger guides" to show you were your index fingers went on home row because I'd rubbed them off over time as well, and there was a hole in the . key, of all things. The . key. Probably from overuse. Maybe this is an advertisement for netspeak?
