I have become quite attached to the keyboard I use. I’ve had it for over ten years. I told the learning support staff at Macc college that I preferred to use a Maltron expanded keyboard, so the got me one. That was in about 2002, and since then I’ve used this thing for my batchelor’s then my master’s, as well as to type most of my blog entries. I honestly think I’ve written over half a million words with it. It has stood me in good stead, and I’ve become very fond of it. I’m almost as fast as any ‘normal’ typist on it. Now, though, it’s starting to fail, repeating letters or not registering them when I press the keys. Time to get a new keyboard, I think. It won’t be easy to bid farewell to this old thing after all I’ve used it to do, but it’s time has almost come. I just emailed Maltron to ask how to buy a new one. Goodbye old girl you were great.
