I am between computers, in a sense. My older laptop has been relegated to my daughter's use so getting it to do anything is a hassle, unplugging, plugging in (battery is only good fro about 5 minutes... I did say it was older). Then there is the main PC, less than a year old. Kate put a split ergonomic keyboard on it, I don't much care for it due to it's very nature. I also still tend to look at the keys sometimes and the letters have started wearing off already. I just don't like using it unless I have to.
So, I have been away from most blogging and what not. I get emails and do some correspondence on my ipod or at work but neither lends itself well to actually blogging anything more than a sentence or two. Well, work is OK but I just don't take the time as I am quite busy any more. It takes me the better part of the day to whack together my thoughts with a minute here and a minute there. Then I have to re-read to see where I was and where I was going.
I am expecting a newer laptop this week. It's a hand-me-down, like most of my computers are except the one home PC, but it is in great shape, the battery is still good for hours and it has the built in WiFi that is so handy at home. It's a wider screen format, I like those better even though the aspect leads to smaller fonts, they just appear cleaner due to the increased resolution.
There was a time when I had the smallest production laptop that still boasted a full size keyboard, less the number pad. Black and white monitor but was it handy at the time.It used a small trackball instead of a touch pad. Now the laptops are getting bigger and notebooks and tablets are taking over the small catagories.
So, hopefully I can catch up on my blogging in the next little while.
Jeff.
