dimity_blueCasper decided, in his wisdom, to be sick on my keyboard today. However, I had two spare keyboards (one came with my new PC, one came with my new monitor), so I decided to swap my older keyboard for a new one. Heck, it's different! It's all flat and the keys aren't raised at all. ::eyes keyboard:: It's a little bit weird to type on, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
It also has a volume control on it. If it works (and it should do, seeing as this is the keyboard that came with the PC), it'll be ever so handy.
As for my modem, I'd been having a lot of trouble with my connection dropping a lot of the time. As some of the lights on the front have stopped working, I phoned BT, thinking I probably needed a new modem. They didn't take me through any tests on my modem at all! They just tested the line, then said they needed to send out an engineer. Rather than sit in waiting for an engineer, I went off to eBay and bought an identical modem and swapped it over. Fingers crossed, but it seems to be working just fine.
