GRRRRR in reply to rrlund, 07-26-2012 15:45:58   I figure I am a pretty good at typing but I cannot do it on those flat key boards. Need to feel where my fingers are. And also, I have the ergonomic style key board and had trouble getting used to it but now can't type good at all on a regular one. If I had a lap top I would sure have a mouse with it also.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Fixing them is what I do for a living. I think you're over by St Johns, no? One of the things that keeps my little niche business alive is that I make house calls for seniors for free in my area. Not buried in the price, not added into some fee. Free. I fix the ones I can in the owner's home and most for less than a bench fee at other places. Send me an email and I'll send you my phone number.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Works great. I have no problem with the laptop keyboard, but I admit I prefer a full size keyboard. You can get a full size wireless keyboard, too, but I've never tried one.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I set in my recliner, as I am doing right now and type away. I also put the head phones on and listen to pedal steel music until I fall asleep. I got use to not having a mouse. You could try a wireless mouse. I also like the fact that I can take it out in the shop when I am working on something and need info. But to each his own.   [Reply]  [No Email]

GRRRRR in reply to rrlund, 07-26-2012 15:45:58   you should be able to hook up your keyboard and mouse to it while you are using it. As for your other one, do you know the steps for maintance (spelling) and recovery? If it is one of the older ones I can help. If it has Windows 7 I am lost.   [Reply]  [No Email]
