As you will note if you keeping reading below, I set up this blog without a clear idea of what I would write about. It may not be that difficult. One of the biggest beefs I have with Apple is their new Bluetooth Keyboard. I bought it at the Apple Store in Raleigh, North Carolina. It works, but barely, and no matter what i do, it keeps interrupting my writing and most every other activity i attempt to perform on my Mac Mini with a constantly appearing dialog box that informs me the keyboard has lost connection.
I tried all the advice I could get on it on the internet including Apple's own support site before i took it back to the Apple Store and asked them to check it out. All they did was put a new set of batteries in it, and declared it worked perfectly. I didn't really believe them, but I didn't wanna start a fuss, so I drove sixty miles back home and gave it a go. Nothing had changed. Now I'm stuck with a product I can't use.
I bought and paid for the new wired keyboard. I needed a new keyboard. The original Apple keyboard technically worked, but it was the worst keyboard I've ever used, and the clacky mechanical action made it a lousy product. The new aluminum keyboard works okay, at least as well as the action on the Bluetooth keyboard, which I loved. The biggest problem with the wired keyboard is that I'm a right-hander, and the numerical keyboard makes me reach at least a foot further to the right side of my desk to use the mouse.
The small footprint of the Bluetooth keyboard was it's main attraction to me. As I just mentioned, I loved the action of the keys. It just don't work as advertised. It loses the bluetooth connection 10-20+ times an hours. I can't use it, and they won't take it back even under warranty. I'm just screwed I guess. $80 is a lot of money to throw away for a retired person who lives on less than $600 a month. Particularly when I had to spend another $60 to buy another one.
I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
