jeez, did you grow up in doylestown or something?

Of course not...No...what were you thinking? I lived a good 2...3 miles from Doylestown!

oh, in that case, yeah, dippy eggs would be the kind you can dip toast into.

MadMarchHare · January 12, 2006, 08:57:47 AM

I always thought "dippy eggs" were soft boiled eggs.....

But I was closer to 4 miles from Doylestown.

Hot stoves are extremely popular in southern Florida.

Ok...now this one is for perfect for this thread.

Are all keyboards universally made with English letters? If not, how big is the chinese keyboard?

MadMarchHare · January 24, 2006, 08:00:46 AM

There is no Chinese Keyboard. They had to use a source code for each symbol years ago, but I think they now use a touch pad with an electronic pen, and the computer translates the symbol from what the author draws.

Russians have a separate keyboard I believe.

THE DVORAK KEYBOARD

Dvorak is a keyboard layout is an alternative to the ancient standard QWERTY. The qwerty (Sholes) keyboard was designed to prevent the keys from jamming in typewriters, which is obviously not needed anymore with modern keyboards. Nowadays we're only using it because everybody else does so, even though the keyboard's a real pain.

Dr. August Dvorak spent over ten years developing his keyboard, resulting in a far more superior layout:

Dvorak Keyboard Layout
~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) { } ____
` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 [ ] BS
___ " < > ? + |
Tab ' , . P Y F G C R L / = \
____ _ _____
Caps A O E U I D H T N S - Enter
_____ : _______
Shift ; Q J K X B M W V Z Shift

Now that would just totally farg with me. I just about got the normal keyboard figured out. $:-\$

Dr. Dvorak is obviously someone with too much time (or government $$$

) on his hands...

Why does my belt buckle invariably migrate to the left? When I get dressed in the morning, I center it. And then it starts to walking left as the day progresses. This has happened all my life.

I'll tell you what, man. Life is a great big goddamned mystery.
