Using a different pc than usual

29 Sep 2007

I couldn't be bothered to boot my laptop so because Ian was using his works laptop, I thought I would just log in to check my pms and email.
I am finding it really bloody weird, some of the keys are in a slightly different place, such as the delete key. I don't have any of my book marks and I'm having to guess some passwords that I have stored in my firefox.
Made me wonder, do you have problems changing between different pcs dunno

Yep! My desktop has a natural keyboard so it's easier to type than on my laptop which is really quite small so my thumb often drops onto the little pad thing and send the whole page haywire. When I was overseas recently I had loads of problems with the Oz keyboard, all the bits other than letters where in different places so I sent a lot of rather odd reading emails.
Right now I have a complex technological set up going on which defies belief. Because of difficulties I have my laptop plugged into my TV... mind boggles!!

I work for a German company
and some of the keyboards at work are the German standard.
This means some of the letters are in a different place.
That gets really confusing.
Luckily i aint a touch typist so i dont make to many mistakes.
I usually find 2 fingers work quite well anyway.

Suppose you could just load a voice control programme and forget the keyboard alltogether.
That said, just talking to your pc cant be as satisfying as banging away on the keyboard ... :shock:

We spent a few weeks in France in the summer, and occasionally managed to cadge internet access. The problem was, not only did the keyboard have a very different layout, but someone else who was out there with us fiddled with the settings.
We ended up not only having a keyboard with all the letters in the "wrong" place- but when she'd messed with the languages the letter you typed ended up as something else entirely- s would be w etc. Imagine how long it was taking to send a basic email
:shock: :shock:
