Deep philosphical questions of the day

………

1. Why do manufacturers of computer keyboards go to all the bother of painting the letters on the keys, yet haven’t bothered to find a way of doing it that doesn’t wear off in three months of usage by a fantasy writer?

2. How can my washing machine do a better job of finding stray Kleenex tissues than I can?

  1. 1. Not just a fantasy writer. It helps to be a touch typist then you don’t need to know what the keys are, but I agree, it is frustrating.

    2. Damned if I know, in England we call that kind of thing sods law.

  2. …and why do the key markings never wear off laptop keys?!

    Someone suggested I buy a CD marker and the key letters would never wear off. Tried it, it wears off in about 3 days. I’ve thought about painting clear nail polish over the re-painted letters…But, I only do it for when other people use my keyboard anyway; I’ve been touch-typing since I was 13, approx 47 years ago.

    Kleenex in the washing machine? Shudder…and it’s worse in the dryer.

  3. No-one else but me touches my keyboard so, like you Lou, it doesn’t matter ‘cos I touch type. I didn’t know about laptops though, although mine is an old one, I haven’t used it that much and I am not sure the previous owner did either. Or at least not for continuous typing.
