retro keyboard

I spilled water on my external keyboard the other night. Some keys are now just Not Working even after letting it dry out; I think it’s time for a new one.

I just tried taking my old white/clear 109-key keyboard out of the closet and plugging it in. Oh god this thing why did anyone ever think it was a great keyboard. Huge keys with a long throw distance and loud clacky noises. Plus I have to hit the space bar super emphatically to make one. Guh. I have gotten so used to the light touch of Apple’s laptop keyboards; this is maddening. I mean it’s clear the space bar is a little misaligned or something, but even so. This thing is so NOISY.

Today’s first to-do item: get new external keyboard.
