Laptop Bliss and Caps Lock Blues

I purchased a laptop to use at the house in Italy this year. It’s a 17 incher (the screen I mean). It’s an Acer, which means you get service all over Europe, and it’s got a Euro (€) key. Hot digity. You can’t be a journalist in Europe without a Euro key.

But why do they call this monstrosity a “laptop?” It runs hot. Five minutes on my lap and my testicles would be darn near baked to perfection. Ah, sweet torture.

But there’s one thing I don’t like. Is there anything more despicable than a huge caps lock key? What do we need that for? Why should the caps lock key be given twice as much space on the keyboard than the far more important “e” key? The caps lock key is just a big annoyance in my book, stuck somewhere on my nasty list between Dick Cheney and a big ol’ thorn in the crotch of my underwear.

Although maybe if I actually used this thing as a laptop, a thorn in the crotch wouldn’t likely bother me all that much, considering. That only leaves Dick Cheney. I hope I didn’t give him any ideas.
