Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day

[Master]

On the topic of keyboards...
- One thing I don't like about the keyboard on my laptop, is that it has ghosting with the spacebar and directional keys.
- Which makes that section with the helicopter and the bombs in the third part of the Precipice a bit annoying.

[Reese Riverson]

- I still think Master needs one of those snazzy 18" laptops with mechanical keyboards.

[Master]

Nah, I'd rather a portable laptop and proper gaming rig than some crazy inbetween. No offense to gaming laptops, but they aren't for me.

- I still don't have a gaming desktop.

[Reese Riverson]

- Gaming laptops are still way to expensive, honestly.

[Ray502]

- Shame my laptop has been dead for so long.
+/- Really need to throw it away.

[Reese Riverson]

What kind is it?

+ still wants old school laptops for DOS gaming.

[PluMGMK]

- Shame my laptop has been dead for so long.
+/- Really need to throw it away.

– I'm begging you. Don't do that without asking someone to see if the hard drive still works.
± Unless you don't want anyone to know what's on it, in which case learn some computer DIY and/or learn to use encryption for future reference.

[Reese Riverson]

+ I agree with Plum, that or take the harddrive out first.

[Master]

At the very least, encrypt the hell out of it and then format it.

- I made a bit of a gaffe in the TTQ.

[Reese Riverson]

+ is proud of Master and his reached goal.

[Fifo]

- I have been using a chiclet keyboard for too long, I yearn for a fullfat chunky keyboard.

<’s— err, my Apple Bluetooth keyboard feels great, and is small. I don’t mind chiclet keys and small keyboards without numeric keypads.

[Reese Riverson]

- I always miss the numeric keyboard on ten-keyless keyboards.

I never did like Apple's keyboards, I always felt like I was being rough on the keys. I really don't like how the keypad seems to have disappeared from many keyboard either. You just end up with the keypadless keyboard with a huge load of nothing surrounding it on newer laptops:

[PluMGMK]

– What inefficient design!
+ Think I'll replace the OS on this laptop with its 64-bit equivalent this (long!) weekend. (It's second hand, the previous user had put 32-bit Kubuntu on a machine with 8 GB of RAM )

[Reese Riverson]

+ I'm wondering what all computers/tech Plum has...

[Ray502]

+ Will remember Plum's idea.
+/- Waiting for Master's response.

[Reese Riverson]

+/- feels Ray502 may wait forever now.

[PluMGMK]

+ I'm wondering what all computers/tech Plum has...

+ Got a laptop here (in Cork).
+ And a gaming rig at home, which is ridiculously overpowered. (Hoozang, if you're reading this, don't say a word! >:( )
+ And a server at home, which is ridiculously underpowered.
+ And a homemade music player based on a Raspberry Pi.
– Which is noisy because I never did enough research into electrical isolation and whatnot of amplifiers…
– Not in the mood to spec it all out ATM.

[Reese Riverson]

+ definitely need to talk to Plum about these things... hmm, do you use IM or just PM?

[PluMGMK]

– IM ain't really my thing. Hoozang knows that!
+ PMs, sure! But again, I'm not really in the mood tonight!
