OH I got a fucking TRUE STORY for you !!
 

So I got myself a new laptop. I never work on a desktop, I use a laptop for everything. I had a great little Toshiba I've been working on for a year and a half, wireless KB and mouse all the goodies...

I cannot say enough good things about a Toshiba Satellite.

Anyway, I got this Compaq. Little bit faster, bigger, more HD, memory etc.. Moved all of my files to it, got all set up and I decided to format this little Toshiba and sell it. It's in great condition and it always has worked real well. At this point, I may still like it better than this Compaq.. so..

I get out my WinXP Pro disc and start to format. I get to a point that tells be to press "ESC" to continue, so I press it and nothing.. hmm. My only option is to repair so i try that.

Well, of course I end up with the same C:\ drive.. so I go thru this about 10 times... No "ESC".

So I dig out my Win 98 startup floppy. Gonna blast this fucker outa there..

A:\FDISK and all that. Now it want's me to "ESC". Fuck. ECS won't work. So I puuuuussssssshhhhh on it and wiggggllllleeee it and nothing. I tried everything.

Fuck, I've been using the ESC key for a year and a half, right ?...

So my wife comes in the kitchen as I have a screwdriver taking screws out because I'm gonna take this fucking little keyboard shitter out of here and see what the fuck is the major problem..

That's when she says "why don't you just plug another keyboard into the PS2 ?"

LOL, it never dawned on me that for a year and a half, I've used my wireless board 99% of the time :)

That worked BTW :1orglaugh

AST

Damn, thats crazy.

Good storie BTW :thumbsup

So I take it the WOMAN is the one with the brains in your house? Imagine THAT...... rotfl

Ok, ok, ok, I'll shut up now... :1orglaugh

The PS2 remark threw me for a while.. till I realized you meant ps/2 lol

I couldn't figure out what the hell a Playstation 2 had to do with the story...

Nice!

I've had either wireless or just nice ergo keyboards plugged into my laptop at times and gone into a insane rage bec. the keyboard wouldn't work.... of course I was hitting the wrong one....


:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh Smart wife!

Funny how it's always something simple that turns out to be the problem.

awesome story, man

:thumbsup

You may be able to open the jar of pickles, but the wife can give you the fresh perspective when you're brain is just no longer working.

I know the feeling :1orglaugh

Oh yea, there's more than that. I had my web host on the phone through part on this and he's a unix tech as well as does service calls on computers. We were both thinking it needed to come apart :) .
LOL

Yea but how do you plan to sell it if the ESC key won't work :)

But you just got OWNED by your wife ... badly

Let's see.. someone else was having a wreck with a laptop 2 days ago but I forgot who it was.. hmm.. LOL :winkwink:

I'll throw in a keyboard :)

Yea, that seems to happen too often man :)
