Abot a year and a half ago, y old iac keyboard was the victi of a roof leak. I lost three letters and a nber. Since then, I have boght two keyboards. One sffered fro Koolaid a few onths later. It was sed, so no warranty. Its replaceent was a brand new keyboard fro Apple, which worked fine ntil this orning. The cat had thrown p on it. I cleaned it as best I cold, popping off the keys and qtipping nderneath. Bt everything was wonky. One ose click wold send it into seizres, and it wold not type anything.
Got the two old keyboards ot of the baseent and tried the ot. No atter how long a keyboard dries, the original probles don't go away. Right now I a back to y original iac keyboard, the one with the black keys. This tie, I went to ebay and ordered TWO replaceents fro different byers. Next tie I won't be caght withot a decent backp! However, it will be a few days before they arrive, so please bear with e.

the good news is, no one giving you a hard time about typos....
lol
are you guys kidding me ? .. the only way I can email you is if I have the "default" mail client installed ?? ... wot ?? .. I choose not to install it ! ...
hmmmm
so I've been coming here for some time now .. browsing .. reading .. laughing .. and enjoying myself .. I've even left a comment ! .. (or three .. including this one) ..
this time I see something in the top right hand corner . oh ! .. a click thing .. "not a joke... " .. and I think . hmmm .. well .. I did read with great interest the blog about how to up revenues on the site ... but I never ever click on these things .. I don't much feel like hacking my pc to find the bug ...
so I think .. well maybe this is gonna help the finances of these guys and that is why they have it going on .. and ... (and this is the kicker !) .. I TRUST these guys .. they wouldn't hurt me .. so .. I ... click ...
and it's friggin spam ...
that my trust level at the express moment in time sank ... dang !
I've been posting your url all over the place in conversations ... and I've enjoyed so much reading your site ... dang !
I'll hang in here a bit ... and see how it all sits with me .. but I don't usually hang with people I don't trust ... and yet I have the distinct impression that you are all interesting people ... and you deserve to go far on the net ... and I somehow feel that it was probably just an oversight on your part ...

Have you tried the dishwasher?
"The cat had thrown p on it."
'Ize on ur keybored. Pizzin on de kees.'
Alex, try web aster@yesbtnobtyes.co or for e try radiofox@g ail.co yo have t fill in the issing letter.
ohn, I haven't yet becase people warned e abot the delicate lainate in ac keyboards. Bt at this point I have nothing to lose, and two keyboards that can go in as soon as the dirty dishes are done.
E, she wasn't pizzin, she voited. Or pked. Which can be its own phrase.
Alex, while I appreciate your loyalty, I simply haven't got a clue what the heck you are talking about.
I do....when you try to email the webmaster, if you don't have Outlook/Outlook Express installed, it tries to install it/set it up. Like MANY hyperlinked email addresses. Not a YBNBY feature, but a Windows thing. (I'm guessing it's them, since it happens no matter what browser I've ever used)
But all you have to do is take the address in the opened up message, cut or copy then paste it into gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc---whatever web client email you use instead of outlook/outlook express/thunderbird, etc.
not really a big deal. And if you can figure out that Miss C is missing her j, m, and u, you already know what the proper email addresses are...
SO, I know what ur sayin. I don't mind outlook at work, but I don't want it at home. I blame Bill Gates.
BTW, Cellania, what's up w/de cat? Was she sick or hairballs? It is kind of funny she chose yer keyboard. Maybe shes a harsh critic.
She's bleic, I think. Pking all her life. And she always hangs ot at the copter so she can sit in y lap. Lots of hairballs, even thogh I dose her reglarly.
OK, lets say the cat is boolenic.
Dose her? What with?
Put some mineral oil or vegetable oil on her paws. She'll lick it off and get a little lubed up. That's what Granny suggested back in the day. Don't have cat so I can't really confirm. C'est la vie. BTW, I hear about people spilling beer on their cool new iMac (whatever macs are called these days) laptops, killing the whole thing. So be of good cheer, a keyboard is relatively inexpensive....
SO, thanks for that. The link to webmaster is a standard "mailto:" link. Anything trying to install itself on your system is Bill Gates fault, not mine. I suggest you go into explorer preferences and tell it which mail program it should be using.
Scratch that, I suggest you install a real browser like Firefox.
E, dose her with hairball reedy. Its vaseline and olasses with fish flavor. Shold clean her right ot.
Scara, I've been using the real browser since version 1.0....the 'mail to' function works fine if you are already logged into your web client email....if you are, it launches in a new window.
If not, whether it's Outlook, Outlook Express, or Thunderbird (Mozilla's version of OE), it will try to set itself up--it's already installed, but it's not set up to send emails...
So, either copy and paste the address, keep the address in your contacts, or stay logged into your web client email....
Miss C---I have realized that even with your missing letters you still write better than a good portion of the population (not those around here--calm down people)--but check out any yahoo comment boards and you'll see what I mean...
The mail client thing is an issue for those who use only web based e-mail. I know a number of people who do, including Miss Cellania.
I would suggest making the "contact us" go to a page with a written out e-mail link that is also hot, so they have the choice of clicking (and launching the e-mail client) or copy and pasting into a web-based email. The other advantage of going to another page would be to give a snail-mail address... just in case somebody wants to send you some "thing".
I use Apple Mail, and it launches when clicking the link. If you don't want to make an additional "contact" page, I would suggest at least changing the link to say "e-mail us" instead.
E - "Put some mineral oil or vegetable oil on her paws. She'll lick it off and get a little lubed up. That's what Granny suggested back in the day. Don't have cat so I can't really confirm."
Did Granny have a cat?
what brother bill said
When I hit any of the "contact" links at st abot any site, it lanches ac ail, then tells e I can't do that becase I don't have an accont. So I have been copying and pasting addresses for years.
hah, thats really rough, but im having ablast reading, miss c, like copter, hahahaha. i think cats can be spiteful creatures, mine isnt, but ive relatives who have cats who pees in visitors shoes cause they dont get enough \attention. cats, cant live with em, cant live without em..
After quite a bit more cleaning, the current keyboard is back in action. I have ordered and paid for two more, but c'est la vie. I am keeping all spare computer parts and will eventually have enough for my kids to have their own. Then they can get their schoolwork done without making me go do something else, like housework.
The old iMac keyboard will, of course, be kept for an occasional post sans u, m, j, and 7 to give y'all a bit of a laugh.
Aww that's a shame, I was looking for some hilarious liveblogging from you tomorrow :)
