frankenstein's laptop
You know...I think I am beginning to see a frightening resemblance between my computer and the Frankenstein monster. Only one hinge now attaches my monitor to the keyboard, so it rests crookedly. And finally the "n" key has officially died. There is no n-ness left n-it. I have attached my external keyboard (This involved a 90 minute trip where I went home, rummaged through the closet and wrestled the small furry deamons that are my cats.) and it seems to be working well, though getting used to a full-sized keyboard is taking some doing. I type, reach up to the computer to use the touchpad...go back to the keyboard to type...it is a great thing. It just looks silly.
At least now I can continue to write my Sex Ed paper.
Posted by tripp at May 27, 2004 03:04 PMAttach a monitor and a mouse, close the laptop and BAM... It's like a desktop. I do it at my work. It also helps because if someone wants to sit at my desk and work on something with me I can just open my laptop and we both have a screen to look at and a keyboard to use. :)
Warning: Giving keyboard control to 2 people at once on a single computer may cause distress and small fueds.
Have a great day!
