Yay for Microsoft!!

Weird. don't think i've ever said that before.

Anyway.

My keyboard quit working about 1-1/2 weeks ago. Might have been a water spill or something, but it's an ergonomic keyboard and not cheap. I switched keyboards and used a different one for a week (also ergonomic, had to buy a PS2 to USB switch, but I found one locally), and then tried it again. Nope. Still didn't work. I called them around 5 a.m. (whenever they open) last Friday, and they sent me a new one. Immediately. No questions asked.

Last night, kiddo and I managed to spill about 2 cups of water on the other ergo keyboard. *sigh* I typed for a little while using the one remaining extra keyboard we have in the house, and then my hands hurt, so I went to bed. Got up this morning to try again, and they hurt again. Decided I'd have to tough it out until the new keyboard got here.

*ding dong* IT'S HERE!!!! Four days. Niiiiiiiiiiice.

WTG Microsoft. You did something right.

Now if only you could make Vista less stupid ...

That might be an idea, if I didn't live at my desk and need to drink all day long ....
