The week before Christmas I commented that my little netbook had died. Now my uncle has gifted me with a laptop of marvelous antiquity and prodigious size, doubtless a marvel of technology to the Old Ones who built it. Supposedly one of the add-ons lets it use wifi, which I haven't confirmed yet because I'm out of practice with PCM/CIA cards, not to mention Windows 2000. But now I can read floppy disks again! The display is perfectly readable, with fewer special effects than many OSes. And frankly the keyboard feel is magnificent, better than most desktop machines today and better than any laptop I've tried in years.

Think of it this way, you have a "new" laptop AND a new weightlifting regime! Just lift and watch your biceps firm! *grin*

It makes me want to write stories just so I have an excuse to use the wonderful keyboard.

Then it is even more win!

By the way, LJ thinks your birthday is soon. I laughed at it.

I've got lots of PCMCIA cards. And as for reading floppies, I have a *stack* of USB floppy drives. :-)
