MEMOREX MX3300 MULTIMEDIA

It doesn't take much to keep me happy and little things mean a lot!

The keyboard that came with my Dell computer was essentially a POS after using it a couple months. Flash forward almost three years and it really was. You couldn't tell one letter from the other, especially the qwerty ones I use all the time. Black pieces of plastic fell out of it and gathered at my feet like dust balls. And the keys were sticking so that I enrolled in a little-finger-weight-lifting-program in order to have the strength to pound out an a or ".

Yesterday Kenz arrived with a new one...a Memorex MX3300 which is a dandy. It even matches my computer, all silver, black and sleek....with 17 small white buttons at the top that will do assorted little chores at my command. But, to this country girl who hasn't been in a computer store in many years to see the array of goodies, this piece of technology is amazing. I can open up all my office stuff, cut and paste, regulate my music and do stuff on the keyboard that I ordinarily have to do with my mouse. It even has a scroll bar on it. Yikes! How much fun. It's going to be a challenge to see how much I can avoid using a mouse. My dancing fingers may never have to leave the keyboard again. Soon I'll be able to move up to the controls of a 767.

I bet there is a way to send subliminal messages through the headset that Brit uses to hear TV....maybe I could even program them to run automatically...."time to empty the trash", "the garage needs a good hosing", "maybe I'll throw a steak on the grill tonight", "Ask Peg if she wouldn't like to drive back up to Nova Scotia for the summer...and I'll stay home and watch Jack".

And it was only $27.00.
