Welcome Amstrad

Post by **Gandalf** » 2003-06-06 04:27am

I'd like to welcome the great Amstrad to sd.net.

As probably none of you know, she is in fact my girlfriend, so please no poking, or there'll be trouble...

Y'know, when I was a newbie, we were grateful for all the pokes we could get.

(hahaha the sisterhood grows...)

Yes, after much deliberation I let Gandalf convince me to join, I’ve been a silent spectator for a while though

I couldn’t think of what to post first, so I asked him if telling you about how I recently took all the keys off my keyboard,
washed them individually with warm water and a cotton bud and replacing them in true alphabetical order would make a nice ice breaker.

He assured me that yes…yes it would.

In the name of the great prophets Locke, Smith, and Jefferson, and the lesser prophets Friedman, Hayek, and Buckley, and the Almighty Reagan, who destroyed the evil empire and led us into the promised land of Supply Side Economics, I greet you Amstrad. The Significant Other of a fellow member of the SD.net chapter of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is always welcome here.

Really? That must make typing difficult whenever you don't use your keyboard.

Does it work well? I've always been curious as to how well that would work.

Welcome to Stardestroyer.net, enjoy your stay and watch what you say, some people get mad at what others post.

I'm sure this won't happen to you of course.

Does it work well? I've always been curious as to how well that would work.

Well at the moment the keys work as they always did, in the same place that they always were, but moving the ‘keys’ just means that when I press “A” I get “Q” “B” I get “W” and so forth. I think I can reassign my keys but as yet haven’t had the time or inclination.

The keyboard was actually designed to slow typists down, as on typewriters they were getting too fast and the keys were jamming. Thus the most used keys are actually the hardest to reach!

One of my main ambitions in life is to change to the DVORAK system, which will be infinitely faster. Only problem is, I’d have to relearn my touch typing and that would just be a bother. When I have time, it will happen!

This website pretty much explains it *wanders off to figure out how to link dress*
link
there are probably much better links, but I’m lazy.. this is the first one that I found.

so yeah, there you go... if you're remotely interested.

You're just paranoid. We wouldn't do that.

Really.

What kind of gnome are you? You should be trying to get more members, not shooing them away. I've never seen such incompetence.

Aaagh...the more girls that join the board, the more flirting spam there is...

Oh, wait, flirting spam is a good thing! Never mind.
