that one's hard on computers.

Just now is the first time I have ever officially broken anything on a keyboard. I have had them mysteriously stop working, and I have spilled things on them and needed to clean the internal plastic membrane, but never before have I ever actually snapped off a key at the point where the little bit that goes into the "socket" on the keyboard joins into the square top of the key.

Perhaps my F just decided to say "Fuck it"?

I have it sitting next to me, but I'm still typing on the stub like nothing happened. Yarr. (I wonder if we have the right kind of glue in this house...)

I haven't broken any of my keys, but I did break one of the little feet-things that helps it stand up at a bit of an angle. Turns out they don't hold up well to slamming your hand down on the keyboard.

We have a bunch of those broken at work. I don't really recall hearing a lot of slamming, though, so I'm not sure how people have veen accomplishing it.

Too much aggressive typing of curse words. :)

I'm not even sure when the last time was that I typed "fuck"! (now, "wtf", on the other hand... :) )

I used it as an excuse to buy that black keyboard I've been wanting and which you may have possibly pointed out to me at Newegg.
