I'm banking on the fables of the far, far better things we do

I am posting from Bertie Owen. He aten't dead. Thank you for all the candles. Keys Q through O, however, have packed it in. A popular row. This post was composed with the majority assistance of copy-paste. I guess today I spend looking for a new new keyboard. Everything hurts.

[edit] ALL HAIL THE VERY OLD AND VERY TANGERINE KEYBOARD THAT BELONGED TO MY MOTHER'S iMAC G3 IN 1998. IT IS A TERRIBLE-LOOKING OBJECT BUT UNLIKE MORE RECENT APPLE TECHNOLOGY IT WORKS JUST FINE HAVING LIVED IN A FILE CABINET FOR THE LAST DECADE OR MORE. I FEEL SURPRISINGLY TRIUMPHANT AND ALSO DISORIENTED BY HAVING A DESKTOP KEYBOARD BUT NO MOUSE.

I mean it also works without the caplock held down, but you see where I'm coming from. My mother is a hero of the revolution.

Man, that's pretty poor performance on the part of the supposedly new keyboard! But I'm very, very glad Bertie Owen survives!

Oh, the benefits of being perpetually behind! Bertie Owen had already arisen from his sickbed before I knew he had fallen. All hail his resilience.

Huzzah for your mother and the keyboard and Bertie Owen!

I use an external keyboard with my Macbook Air is probably the only reason why the actual built-in keyboard hasn't given up the ghost. And even then I am prone to failure mode: the previous external keyboard (an expensive ergonomic keyboard that I use because of RSI) I killed by spilling Dr. Pepper on it...

w00t! I was afraid I was going to have to loan you my laptop on a semi-permanent basis.
