hello!
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Pyrrh_ met a cloudhead! excellent!
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
woah pikajude idk what's happening in that photo but I love it
<Pyrrh_>
ELLIOTTCABLE I did and I even did it all by myself :o
<jfhbrook>
I just realized that keyboard from earlier
<jfhbrook>
is artisanally-handcrafted
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I gave nexxy my daskeyboard
<jfhbrook>
yeah but das keyboards aren't artisanally handcrafted
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
jfhbrook: hm?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wut
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
this WhiteFox is weirdly attractive
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and I *hate* high-profile keyboards
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
For a looooong time, the MB869LL/A was My Keyboard™ and my *only* keyboard
<jfhbrook>
my high school had what I think was a Dell-rebranded model M
<jfhbrook>
I loved that thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
basically since idk2007orw/e, every time my previous MB869LL/A went kaput, I'd try Some Other Keyboard, because they are always becoming harder to find
<jfhbrook>
I bought the clickingest keyboard I could from the thrift store, ancient but otherwise unremarkable
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and every time, I'd get fed up, sell/give away/return the Other Keyboard, and ebay myself another MB869LL/A -_-
<jfhbrook>
my mom lent it to a family friend that broke one of the keys and chucked it

<jfhbrook>
thinking it was just a piece of garbage
<jfhbrook>
I was very ;_;
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
the new ‘Magic Keyboard’ was a fucking miracle. “What? Apple is revisiting the design they abandoned, and the only one I can stand to type on!?!?”
<jfhbrook>
but now I can afford a das keybaord and macbook laptop keyboards aren't *awful* so
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
jfhbrook: hahaha
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
do you like the butterfly keys? I can't help but hate them )'=
<audy>
hi
<purr>
audy: hi!
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
audy!
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm going on a date with a bioinformatics grrl tomorrow
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I thought of you!
<jfhbrook>
butterfly keys?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
jfhbrook: the macbook's keys that everyone hates
<jfhbrook>
oh, no I dislike most laptop keyboards
<jfhbrook>
but out of all the laptop keyboards, the macbook's is so far the least shitty
<jfhbrook>
like I can type on it without getitn gmad
<jfhbrook>
getting*
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ooooo MB869LL/A's have come down since the Magic Keyboard became a thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I remember when they sold aftermarket for like $150
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
now they're down to $50-ish on ebay
<jfhbrook>
oh, funny thing
<jfhbrook>
that s and d keys on my macbook have wear spots on them
<jfhbrook>
you can't really read the s or d anymore they're white blobs cause I wore the paint off with my incessant typing!
<audy>
ELLIOTTCABLE: perl scripts
<audy>
that magic keyboard looks nice
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I love the new one, yeah
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
the wild thing is how *huge* the Magic Trackpad is
<audy>
i forgot they made those
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's literally more than 3/5ths the size of the Magic Keyboard.
