Testing... Wheee!!!

Oh yeah baby. I now have keyboard. El cheapo keyboard from the Temple of Fry's Electronics. But hey, it works. My eye was seduced by the glory of a wireless keyboard/mouse combo, ergonomically designed, but that was too expensive for my cramped budget.

Chatted with a dude who also had a Dell. We bitched. I'll be calling their tech support to see if I can't get myself my keyboard repaired/replaced. At night, which was my preference as well. Nicer people, less harried.

Also got five classical CD's, quite heavy on the Bach. Votania is adoring me.

was it a split ergonomic wireless keyboard??? the boy has been looking for one for years. do you happen to remember the maker?

don't remember maker off top of head, but I can go back and conduct "research" if you'd want... mmmm. Reeeeessssearch.

well, only if it was a split one, since we've seen several wireless keyboards since we started the search. but that would be really nifty of you.

By "split", do you mean two-piecer, movable from inline to out of line, or two sections, one for each hand, but on one large bit of plastic?

It was the variety that's one big chunk, but the two halves of the keyboard are separated from each other, angled to make typing very comfortable.

Re: hurrah for new geek-quipment!

yes, the latter. one large unit with two angled typing sections (and preferably a numerical set on the side).

no hurry though...whenever you make it to Fry's again. i can hopefully then find it online and get one or two sent to coastal maine.

thanks!

Numerical bit on the side and everything. Oh, and did I mention the scroll wheel on the other side?
