New computer keyboard drives me crazy

Post by lucky1 » Fri Feb 10, 2012 8:26 am

Just need to rant.

I've been typing for what seems like 100 years.

My new Toshiba laptop's "home row" keys have AN EXTRA key.
that results in having to reach one key further to hit the Return key.

I'd like to get my hands on the idiot engineer who decided to mess with that 50+ year old standard configuration.

I now have to remove all the damn \\\\\\\\\\ and replace with the Return in all my work.

Proof that it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

But really...who would've thought when shopping for a new computer to consider how many keyboard keys exist! :evil3: :angry6: :angry8: :boxing:

...there! feel better.\\ arrgh

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
