I can't believe anyone has not decided to comment. Well i will. I think software development is best learned by book and trial and error. I took it in college and when i took it the first time the book was crappy and the reference online helped me only so much. I got a D i was like hell no, this can't be happening. So i went to the professor and he recommended a great work. Guess what! Got an A. With the good book, things made more sense, and i can read a book for a longer period of time than a screen. Althought i can play a pc game for hours ;) So there you have it. You are right.

re: My Clickety IBM Keyboard - RIP

Hi. I just got a brand new IBM Model M in the mail. They still sell them out there you know. Yes this keyboard rocks. Yes i am typing this on this keyboard right now. Man this is a rock solid keyboard. Now i actually want to type for fun. I have heard great things about the newer ones, but i decided to go for the classic IBM Model M from 1980's. This one is a 1988 model. Viva Model M!

Never got it back. It was particularly stressful for my wife, as I am relatively ill, and will almost certainly not survive long term, and so this meant a great deal to my wife. I think I made things a little better in that we got a ring I had given her way back before we were married (>28 years ago) fixed so she can wear it. It had previously not been considered worth fixing, but by now was considered worth it. My wife will be glad to have it, should anything happen to me.

I feel your pain. I have lost about 60lbs, and last week it fell of during a hike in the woods. I wasn't hoping to put my weight back on, but wanted to make sure I kept it off before I had the ring resized. Like you, the ring was not so expensive, but it did carry quite a bit of memories and symbolism. Good Luck. If anyone finds it I am sure they will attempt to return it.

Does anyone know if Microsoft know (or even care) about the myriad of failings in explorer.exe (probably one of the flakiest bits of Microsoft code ever.)
