  3. You can do whatever you want to the keyboard… just so long as you don’t chop me up into pieces.

    Your hair looks shiny today… new conditioner?

  5. D is for delight in fixing hardware
    O is for knowing how to give ops in IRC
    R is for reveling in your geekiness
    K is for a post about your keyboard

    :grins:

  11. I just replace my keyboard. Is yours so advanced that it’s worth trying to fix? Is it some Hello Kitty keyboard or something?

    (I’m not knocking Hello Kitty)

  12. Stef, sorry!

    Wah, first of all, how wasteful of you! Throwing away a perfectly good keyboard like that!!! Second, it’s a laptop and proper procedure would be for me to back up all my files (which I do anyway), check it in at a building down the street, wait for them to drag it BACK to the building I’m in (gotta follow procedure!), then wait 3-5 business days for a new keyboard to come in and a tech to replace it then have the chance to bring it BACK to the building down the street, then wait for the building down the street to call me to tell me to come pick up my laptop. … Instead I just stole the tools from the tech upstairs.

  13. OHHHH it’s a laptop keyboard. Repairs are totally justified.

    and when I implied “throw away” I actually make it a kids toy so they can bang away on it without ruining a good keyboard. Kids love keyboards.
