Perhaps Shir's and my theory can be unified like so:
Computers are like a Pink Unicorn Magical Fart pinball machine....
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I like to pretend that electrons are like pinballs in a pinball machine. So if you have a very important post, it's best to hit the Enter key hard, which will cause the electrons to bounce around more, making them more likely to get where they're supposed to go.
HA! So that's why I do it...

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Curious, how often do you need to buy a new keyboard?

I approve. That's how computers work. Don't trust the "experts". Next time your machine breaks, open up the computer and search for the tiny pink unicorns with the pinball machines that are glued to their asses. Ignore people in white coats who might try to prevent you from doing so. They're trying to make sure you'll never see the magical pink unicorns, and that's just wrong, y'know.

The biggest keyboard issue I've ever had to face was cleaning out cat vomit.
Note: The key is to dry your keyboard innards thoroughly after you get the kitty puke out....

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I'd like to think Shir's drunk, but I suspect this is normal for her.
Sobbed about my house for at least an hour, then went to the pub. It is all Fine. We will Complete Tomorrow. I will be Calm. OK.

Also, when the magic blue smoke escapes, it's Game Over, Man.

Worlds collide:
Kossack newbie: let me get this straight, we're supposed to beat each other up and then come together for the election cycle?
Me: Yes, it's all very Spike and Buffy.

I am hell on keyboards. I've taken them out with coffee and soft drinks and lost a number to mystery sticking keys.

That stuff is always a PITA, Seska. My mom used to do that at work. Nobody ever remembers that crap when it's finally their house.
