I defenitly need a new keyboard. Mine is starting to stick and some keys dont react right away when pressed. If I didnt spend the time proof-reading my posts they would all look like something out of a 3rd graders notebook.

I counted all the errors in the thread before I edited and there were 15! Damn space bar wont react unless i push it realy hard and sometimes it still wont. When I first wrote that last sentance it read :Damn Space bar wontreact unless I pusht really hard and sometimesit stil wont.

a friend of mine gets keyboards in bulk. he uses a new one every month. he writes a lot and likes the springy new keyboard feel.

Why would you waste $50 on an alienware keyboard? Buy a black keyboard and paint it if the color matters that much.

I had same problem with my keys on my old key board. I took about an hour and tore it apart and cleaned it real good wit windex and wash cloth. If you do this, just put th4e keys in order o you don't get them all mixed up.

I now have a Logitech cordless keyboard and mouse. It works great too. I just sit back in chair, prop legs up and type away holding keyboard on my lap.

My daughter just loves the cordless mouse when she is playing her games.

Once, at school, Me and some friends were bored and took the keys off some keyboards and switched them all around :D You should of seen the frustrated people trying to type. And we also took the mouces (mice?) and wrapped them around so it seemed like a different mouse went to a differant computer. It was pretty funny.

Zero, that is funny. Funny thing though, they didn't get computers in school until I was in 10th grade. They were Mac's, the first Mac's. Oh, by the way, if you are wondering....I graduated in 1990! (30 Years Old)

after watching my dad work on his old laptop.. he sure as **** aint workin on no comp of mine, he first beat the keyboard till all the keys broke out, then he broke the battery in half, and cracked the harddrive, burnt up the motherboard, and punched a hole through the screen, and to think... he works on comps for a living!

JW Kinda goes with that thing where guys that work on cars usually drive junkers. They are so sick of working on other people's cars that they don't want to spend the time on thier own.....LOL

By the way, you dad sounds like me working on my computer!

I have a freind a tad older then you. Do you remember the comador PET? he had fond memories of it. since I am very friendly with the staff in the school system one of the custodians got one for me out of storage. it's really fun. here's a few links.

Yeah, I remember them. I had an Atari when I was yonger. Actually I had 2 since they were junk and the first one broke so fast. I remember when I saw the Tamiya Bruiser for sale in a hobby shop. I remember thinking $180 was too much money for a truck. Now you can't get a running one for under $300 and a brand new one unbuilt will run over $1000. My very first good RC car was the Tamiya Stricker. It was a Buggy but had a F1 car style to it. I wish I would have kept it. Worth allot now. I still have my 3rd car that I bought back in the mid 80's. It is a MRC / Tamiya CJ-7 Jeep. It is almost the same design as the Wild Willy, just no man inside. It is on my Home Page here if you want to check it out.

back then you couldn't get a computer for under 3000 and now you can get a good one for 600. and I think it's fair to assume that computers have improved more then RC trucks:)

I don't know, RC cars have come a long ways since I started. That was 14 years ago. Yeah, I had a Tandy computer from Radio Shack. It ran $2000 and didn't even have a hard drive! Didn't even have windows!

Bah, everything logitech makes is pretty satisfactory except for the webcam. I've had some unnecessary trouble with it...
