@rfusca Well, if you are handly with an iron, I will send you the dead lappy and see if you can resurrect it :-) I just ordered a basic one from Asus via Amazon. I am impressed with my Asus Nexus 7, and my new Asus wireless router, so I thought I would give them a chance. Still that damned chiclety keyboard, but it looks like the keys are at least countoured. I type over 100 wpm, I want a good keyboard!
@rfusca On GEnie many years ago, my name ended in 14 so it was a number easy to remember. So it is my initials, 14 and my initials again. My name is common enough that simpler variants are pretty much always taken, and this lets me use the same id pretty much anywhere since it is almost never (never so far, anyway) already used. Or if it was, it was me, and I can do "forgot password."
I have been using this for a long time so the connection to GEnie is not quite as obscure as it might seem.
I have given up trying to police the stuff that doesn't belong, because I have a stricter vfiew of it, and the inclusionists are running the store, so I never prevail. Its like voting republican in DC. NOt that I would.
