"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
29 March 2008Small and flat and light and lovelyThe next-to-next-to-last item on this week's Woot-Off was a Logitech Brazilian Office Internet Keyboard, which sold for the princely sum of 19 cents. (This being Woot, of course, there's the usual $5 shipping charge.) The obvious question for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere is "What's the difference from a 'regular' — by which we mean 'our' — keyboard?" This isn't quite the answer, but I liked it anyway:
So, this keyboard only has keys along a narrow strip in the center, right?
Actually, this is the layout I will encounter. (I bought three, which I plan to merge into the corporate keyboard stock just to see if anyone notices. Seldom do I get to pull a prank that costs as little as $5.57.) Posted at 3:03 PM to Bushel of Currency , PEBKACSo, this keyboard only has keys along a narrow strip in the center, right? Snork! I was wondering what would be different about those keyboards. I saw them, but had no need of new ones.

My current keyboard is an IBM Model M, manufactured in October 1990; my work box has another M, also from last century. Posted by: CGHill at 6:49 PM on 29 March 2008 |
