Duke Bushido Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'm not entirely certain what happened. I mean, I know what happened; I am not entirely certain of the results. When I post from home, it's on a Mac-- this isn't my preference; it's my wife's preference. She uses the thing more than I do, and I see no need to have a second computer, so I buy what she likes. I do have one major complaint about them, and that's the the keyboards. While very pretty with their white on aluminum design, and possibly the most comfortable keyboard I have ever used with it's widely-spaced soft-touch yet-still-actual-buttons-that-must-be-pressed keys, they just don't hold up. They aren't remotely durable, and even with routine cleaning there comes a point after about two years that they just go nuts with buttons sticking, buttons not responding, etc. A few minutes ago I was composing a message to Chris Goodwin to share with him that my copy of Narosia: Sea of Tears had arrived from Noble Knight (thanks for the link!) and to give him my initial impressions on it (Haven't read it yet; just a few bits here and there. Likely won't get time to sit down and actually read it until the July 4 shutdown at work). Then the keyboard started flaking. I had nearly finished the message, so I tried to soldier on, fighting, compensating, deleting, retyping---- Inevitably, I lost. I ended up with a mess of characters and gibberish and only about a quarter of a line of text. Now with the current set-up, the trackball (man I hated that mouse. As much a pleasure as the Mac keyboard is to use, the Mac mouse is at least as emphatic an experience to use, but in the "hellishly awful" direction) connects through the keyboard, and when I attempted to just close the window via the GUI, well things just went nuts. Before it was over, I got the "message sent" confirmation a number of times, and I don't know what went to who or why. At any rate, this is your explanation. I have not gone insane. No one was targeted for gibberish. I have installed the back-up dollar-store keyboard with the gaudy lights and mega-crap construction. I will get a new keyboard ordered shortly after my wife notices. Thank you for your understanding.
