Title: They'd never believe me
Post by: TheBoy on 08 October 2010, 16:09:31
Here I am, sitting at my desk, enjoying a strawberry Dib Dab.

A helicopter comes tearing overhead, incredibly low, causing me to fill my pants spill sherbert everywhere.


My desk now looks like I'm an addict who has been going a bit radio rental with a few lines of Charlie  :-[



They'd never believe me....

I love those giant blackjacks but had to stop buying them as they cost me 40 quid a time pulling my crowns out!

That's the same Dell keyboard as I've got!

Nothing like as much lunch matter embedded in it though. :-[

Used to be a bit partial to those black jacks. Best wait until I've been to the dentist to get my wobbly filling re-done though. ::)

For something so flimsy, I am amazed at how well its lasted.  That and the phone are usually the first to get it when some offshored idiot with no grasp of English is yabbing on about something....

We had those supplied with our Optiplexes for quite a while, although out of curiosity I checked the new batch that i'm ghosting next week and they have changed them now.

Odd, we've been getting the larger type with our Optiplex systems for a couple of years now  :-?


None are as good as the old 10yr old Dell 'Quietkey' keyboard I use at work (those who know what company I work for will see the irony in that). That is indestructable, and has survived 10yrs of me beating the living daylights out of it on a regular basis  :-[

Is that the old PS2 model that they supplied with servers, got a heavy upwards slope on it?

I used to hide them when they came in! Finally stopped using them when I became a natural convert.

The quietkey? No. It was supplied as a replacement keyboard, or if you ordered a keyboard with a lappy etc. Beige, and about 10yrs ago. Indestructable.

I beg to differ.. if you hit one hard enough you can make the Escape key go flying off..  :-[ :-[

(The crappy black replacements as seen in your photo just collapse and the legs snap off..  :-[ :-[)

I may have had the odd key come off, but they do clip back on OK. Space bar is more fiddly.

These black one, I'm impressed with its durability, given its cheap, flimsiness. Not managed to break it yet, buy rights it should be in several bits....
