i hate laptops

I looked in the back and it has a place to connect a mouse,
but no place to connect a keyboard, so you're stuck with the
default keyboard. And that keyboard completely lacks the '*'
and '/' keys which increase & decrease octaves in modplug
tracker. Plus its the kind of keyboard where if you push 3
or more buttons simultaneously it will make a beeping noise
(basically can't play doom 2 on it). Even if I managed to
figure out how to install a good keyboard, the screen would
then be far away from the shit keyboard now taking up dead
space.

Plus when you plug in a mouse, the terrible eraser-head
thing still works anyway, only now even worse because I had
to go to control panel and make the normal mouse move
faster- which in turn makes the trackball move way too
fast.

All well; I now have to figure out what software erases the
hard drive so I can sell this safely, and buy a normal good
computer with a flat screen monitor finally hopefully.

And thus ends my longish uninteresting arbitrary message. I
can't even think of any potential reply to this. I'm so
sorry for wasting your time.

Sincerely,
Fagmaster 4 of the Fag Universe

problems, but aren't most mice and keyboards for laptops usb
connected anyway?

mine is great and super but it's getting beaten up pretty
badly from being lugged around all over the place.

its a thinkpad t23 which had good reviews at least. best in
its price range anyway which was maybe 400 or so.

maybe keyboards are usb for laptops (not the one for my
other computer); i don't know. all well; I just don't like
it really. But it is very quiet and very small and light. My
other computer hums like maybe 1/4 of refrigerator volume.

You can get a USB numerical keyboard for laptops. Maybe one
of them will help!

If you hold on for a month you'll be able to get yourself an
upgraded macbook.
