Death of a keyboard: Good-bye, old friend.
I'll be disposing of a keyboard that after approximately ten years has become something of a constant. It has survived through 3 or 4 full time computers and a couple of temps. Periodically, I would give it a deep cleaning but now the keyboard is in a state that nothing short of steam would remedy.
The keyboard came as part of an HP package that was considered a media machine at the time. A decent feel to the keystrokes, about 15 dedicated function keys that were rarely used and that one saving grace: A volume knob.
For now, I'm trying to fill that void of volume knob with an external sound card and a remote. We'll see. ¶ 5/28/2007 02:15:00 PM
