Computer Woes!

[chomiji]

My older system at the office? The one that I had set up just the way I like it? The one to which the speakers are attached? The one with the repository of Saiyuki art for making icons, not all of which is yet copied over to the external hard drive? The one from which I was supposed to switch eventually?

It seems to have suffered a hard drive crash .... .

So now all I have is the shiny new computer on the credenza, with the keyboard that feels like it came out of a bubblegum machine, and only the most necessary software.

I wants my old computer back, I does!

I probably got most of it off Aethereality ... hmmm. I guess I'll just pipe up about specific wants, like I did about Koumyou. Thanks!

I'll ask our own group's IT specialist on Monday. The regular Help desk guys won't bother with anything that exotic!

I don't know what type keyboard it is, but it felt much heftier and clickier than the current one - odd, because both are Dell systems.

Oh, now I see what you mean. Yes, the old PC has the springs in the keyboard. I've taken the keys off to clean underneath a number of times.

I can't imagine this Mac keyboard has springs, though, and still it's pretty clicky and bouncy and stuff. But then, Apple is obsessed with secondary industrial design factors - I read a marvelous article once about how they planned the products - so they may have made the touch experience a priority for the keyboard.
