    My first computer was DOS only. Kids today will never understand the joke C:\DOS\RUN. :ohwell:

    I prefer the keyboard and shortcuts to the mouse anyday.

    “‘The following morning, the weather was so foul it hardly deserved the name, and Dirk decided to call it Stanley instead. Stanley wasn’t a good downpour. Nothing wrong with a good downpour for clearing the air. Stanley was the sort of thing you needed a good downpour to clear the air of. Stanley was muggy, close, and oppressive, like someone large and sweaty pressed up against you in a tube train. Stanley didn’t rain, but every so often he dribbled on you. Dirk stood outside in the Stanley.’”

    Stanley is outside my house today. :-(

    We didn't have mouses (mice?) in my computer classes as a kid, it was all keyboard, so the mouse was a luxury, and I was less likely to create havoc with a mouse, which was nice, but all the stations had right hand mouses, and I'm a lefty, so that took some relearning of basic coordination. Now I think a lefthanded mouse is weird.
    I apologize for the excessive use of commas, I'm side I could restructure it to use fewer and make better sense, but I lack my usual verbal perfectionism today. My children ate my brain this morning.

    Do I get bonus points, not just for knowing pretty much all of the lines from Princess Bride verbatim, but also owning a copy of the book? I have reread it so many times, and now I must read it again.
