constanceOh, man. I don't know if you remember, but a long time ago, I lost a letter on my keyboard; the key first started kind of acting up, printing multiple Vs every time I pressed the letter (however lightly) or pasting multiple times with a single keystroke. And then it would only work intermittently, and then, finally, in October of last year, it stopped working completely, and ever since then, I've pasted in my Vs, using my mouse of course because the CTRL-V function also stopped working.
And then last week, I had a little windfall -- sadly, it was a very little windfall -- and was thinking about what to buy with it. A tank of gas? New underwear? NO, I said to myself, I will go looking for a keyboard on ebay, and if there's one that fits my laptop model, by God, that is what I will buy. Nobody sees my raggedy old underwear but me, after all!
And there was a keyboard on ebay.
And I did buy that keyboard.
And my keyboard was waiting for me today when I got home from work, and after dismantling my laptop far more than was actually necessary (as it turns out, I only needed to take out two of the fifty screws on the underside; who knew?), I got it installed. AND. IT WORKS. I have a V key again! I can paste with just a flick of my left hand! I have already almost forgotten what a giant pain in the ass living without a V key was! I am so happy!
LOOK: VVVVVVVvvvVvVvvVvvvVvVVVVvVVvVvvvvVVvvvvvVVvvvVVv. That is the beautifullest, most sexiest thing I have seen in a while. And it is true that I don't get out much. But still.
