Crying Over Spilled Milk

Saturday, November 15th, 2003 @ 8:00 PM - life

I spilled a cereal bowl all over my open laptop. Sludgy generic raisin-bran seeped into all nooks and under my keyboard. I had to dismantle the laptop casing (not recommended) to remove the keyboard. So now there is a big hole in my computer and I am typing with an external keyboard. Which is actually easier to type with than the tiny laptop's. However it was the cheapest one available, so the keys are kinda insensitive. Some keys act like they needed to be hit with a hammer or leaned into to register. This becomes a pain-in-the-ass when playing games where moving your character forward requires holding down the "W" key. (ala Enemy Territory) To many times have I been running away from a grenade or some Nazi's MP40 to be stopped in mid-dash because I wasn't putting all my weight into a particular key. Boo hoo.
