No big company really wants to spend mass amounts of time troubleshooting something they'll only build once. At best they'll slap it together, throw on some boilerplate, and check whether it catches fire.

So today I started a new jerb - back with evil, evil pharma - and the standard issue is a Microsoft Surface Pro. I am very surprised to report that kind of love it so far.

Yes well ... I'm not sure computer "years" and human years compare one-for-one. It's probably well past the age where it rebels and wants to try different attachments, and well into the age where nothing works properly and bits fall off. If not even pushing up the digital daisies.

My computer, thanks to a keyboard condom, has just survived a massive deluge of coffee-that-went-down-the-wrong-way-and-came-back-up-due-to-a-cough-reflex-that-couldn't-be-fully-repressed.

In my experience, made-to-fit keyboard condoms are far easier to find for Macs than for Windows.

And so, I DIDN'T get a new computer!

PRO-TIP: to save money, you can just stretch a humang condom over any keyboard. Do not use condom for sex after tho. Keyboard either, just to be safe.

Really? I thought vm was proudly enrolling his computer in high school. As for mine, it constantly complains about still working. The damned thing wants to retire.
