My “d” key does not work anymore. asfjkl;asfjkl;asfjkl; Yes, that sequence does not include any “d’s” on purpose. Do you know how annoying it is not to have that key available? Actually, I really don’t think you do (unless it’s happened to you before). If it was a “z,” I think I could live with that. Maybe even a “b.” But a “d”?! C’mon now. Approximately half of all words in the English language end with either an “e,” “t,” “d,” or “s.” And think of all those verbs out there after they’ve been put into the past tense. Plus, if you’re trying to take notes for the training, imagine how many times you have to type “God” or “Lord.” Yeah…it gets pretty annoying.
But I can’t just give up on typing just b/c of one missing letter (although this post would read pretty badly if all the “d’s” disappeared). So I improvise. When I type, in place of hitting the “d” key, I now hit “Ctlr+v” instead. Yeah. Pretty lame. It really puts a crimp in my typing speed, but you just kind of have to make-do with what you’ve got.
Sigh. It really is time to get a new laptop. I’m thinking maybe a Lenovo ThinkPad X200, what’d you think?
That’s nothing. One time my spacebar broke. However, I somehow managed to fix that one by blowing out the dust from underneath the key. I guess I was lucky.
I even took it apart and got a large chunk of dust out, but it still doesn’t work. Yeah. I guess I don’t have your touch.
