I'm getting around on Amazon without any trouble.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I couldn't get into Amazon earlier, but it seems to be working for me now.
In other news...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Amazon's been down and not down for me.
Does anyone like IBM PCs?

If I only had a brain...
I love my ThinkPad kind of a lot. But I bought a Dell to replace it, because the price differential was just too high.
Can anybody recommend a reliable maker of electronic keyboards (the kind you play like a piano, not the kind you type with.) I'm thinking of getting one for the family for Christmas. I've played the piano before; the kids would be hacking around. Some sort of way of dumping melodies to a PC would be nice.

People have said good things about their laptops.
The last IBM PC we had around here was an XT. It had a 10 MB hard drive.

If you just want something to use as a controller for the PC sampler software then M-Audio makes some nice keyboard controllers. If not Roland, Kurzweil, or Korg all make nice keyboards across a pretty broad price spectrum.

I do not have positive things to say about my old Thinkpad. But it is dead and gone and sold on ebay.

Betsy, I like Casio's keyboards [link] a lot. I've owned several. This is the one I have currently [link] , which comes with a SmartMedia reader. They all offer several play modes.

Shit. Amazon.com is driving me batshit. I just want to do some damn xmas shopping from the comfort of my office!
Is this one of those 1st world concerns again?
