During a day spent mucking about with the bastard lovechild of a Kray Supercomputer and the much loved 1980s MB game Operation, I checked The Autoblography's comments on WAP at lunchtime and spotted Jane's comment on Wednesday's post...I took some advice from the Greenhamster via SMS...
"I've been dared to cause havoc. Which country do you like the least?"
"Your challenge is to hit Vatican City, officially the smallest county in the world. It's like darts, only with ICBMs."
"Strike called off because I know a great little bar in Rome, which would suffer unacceptable collateral damage. The Pope lives to Pontificate another day."
"Ok, Malta then. Those jumped up monkeys wont know what hit em!!!"
"Did I mention that I went on holiday there once...er, in 1990? Some, ah, quite fond memories? Not that I haven't cracked the Russian Govt. yet or anything..."
"There's interesting there. What, you gonna steal the new version of Tetris or something? Anyway, what about Grenada? Never been there, could live without..."
And so I did.
I hate to tell you this but its still there...
It took me ages to write that sentence. Switching from "natural" keyboards (with the buttons cleaved into two sections) to normal ones several times a day is rubbish!
There's nothing natural about 'natural' keyboards. Hands all wiggling around in claw shapes, like you're trying to scare the computer into doing what you want.
Try it: hold your hands up like you were using a natural keyboard and pretend to type the sentence "scary little man".
Feel scary, look silly, love Microsoft...
I love that as a slogan...I can practically see it on a billboard.
