Sleek, slim, black. Oh, how I love my keyboard. - ViperEye - 25th Oct 2003 02:46
You must understand that I am a writer. While, lately, it's quite true that I haven't had much time to do what I love most, writing is still an important, if not necessary part of my life. Much like an athlete feels WRONG without getting out onto that field every so often, my fingers start twitching if I don't start tapping keys.
So now, in an un-paid-for bit of product advertising, I'm going to talk about my new best friend: the Logitech Elite Keyboard.
First off, I have no need for cordless keyboards. I see no point to them. I sit at my computer when I want to type, not six feet away from the monitor. So I didn't waste money on some finicky connection that could interfere with my gaming. I like cords. Secondly, I wanted a keyboard with an intuitive media center and programmable quick-launch buttons, but buttons that looked awesome and not clucnky or stupid. Third, and most importantly, I wanted a keyboard that looked and felt good.
So I went out and I bought a Logitech Elite Keyboard. Frankly, it doesn't have enough features for me to list. I mean, good God, it's a KEYBOARD, for God's sakes. But whoa, nelly, is it a nice keyboard. Why?
Because it feels good.
And not in that way, you sick pervert. Yes, I'm talking to you. YOU. That's right, YOU, RICHARD!
And no, I don't know anyone named Richard. But I know he's reading this. And I can't be proved wrong, which means I'm sitting pretty. But nevermind, I've wandered off topic.
Logitech. I hate their mice. Let's face it, we all know that the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer is the best, hands down. Five buttons, feels good, clicky, responsive. Yee-haa. But man, oh man, their keyboards are niiiiice. I looked at Microsoft's new Wireless Optical Desktop Elite, and it couldn't hold a finger to the Logitech Elite. Although, curiously, they both have similar names.
And yes, I know that the former can't hold a finger to the latter because it doesn't have any fingers. But I do, and while I'd put my grubby hands all over the Logitech, I wouldn't touch the Microsoft.
I'm getting off-topic again. But then, you all expect that by now; it's what I DO in these .plans.
I also do something else: I give hints as to possibilities. Unfortunately, you pretty much know all of my hints, except for one, but I won't tell you what it is, because they you'll know all of my hints and I won't be able to tell you anything.
So... yeah... I'm backed into a corner. I'll give you a hint as to what the hint is: it has to do with music. Specifically, the Intro music. And no, we won't be using the Star Wars music, but if you like, please feel free to e-mail Sony Classical and ask them to give us permission.
Now, for the final bit of craziness before I sign off: take the seventh letter of the twelfth word of the fourth paragraph. Then take the first of the thirty-second of the ninth. Keep following the pattern as follows:
01: 7-12-04 (you should have done this one already)
02: 1-32-09 (you should have done this one too)
03: 1-05-02
04: 4-26-11
05: 3-37-12
06: 7-01-05
Congradulations! You just solved the puzzle I thought up off the top of my head! give yourself a pat on the back, because you now know something that no-one else knows!
There are more typos in the post. Find them all, add up the letters that are misplaced and place them in the reverse order as in which they were posted. Perhaps you'll find the clue to one of our hidden eastereggs.

Hahahahaha, sorry about that Crymson, that's probably the single spelling mistake I make most often. Yes, I'm a writer, but have you ever seen me in IRC? I can't spell for shitaki mushrooms.
Oh, and as far as the message, you didn't HAVE to translate it. It's a friggin' time-waster, and it did it's job! And you have to admit, it WAS pretty funny.
Remember the "my phone number's hidden somewhere" joke? Had folks going nuts, but it was all just a gag. It's all in good fun, bud =)
ViperEye the writer, can't spell

Congradulations?? CONGRADULATIONS??? Come on VE, that's such a bad mistake it's not even funny in the remotest sense. CongraTulations. BTW, that message has angered me. I can't believe I spent my final 1/2 hour before my class doing it. Take your gloat. haha, you win. But revenge is mine!

I hereby call upon ShroomDuck to testify. He'll tell you that the Microsoft Natural Multimedia Keyboard is the best there is.

NO! You actually LIKE the split keyboard? it's impossible to get any MORE awkward than that! The natural keyboards are spiteful, hands-down.
As for Logitech mice, I'll have to look into the MX 500, because in my humble opinion, more ALWAYS equals better. But can it match the graceful feel of the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer?
It's the other way around
eXoR[Troopers] - - 25th Oct 2003 12:53
Objection. To me, it's obvious that Logitech makes the great mouses and that Microsoft is there for the keyboards. Ergo, the Logitech MX 500 and Microsoft Natural Multimedia Keyboard is the ultimate combination.
What's the point of a scrollwheel on a keyboard? How can you type properly, for long sustained periods of time, without a split keyboard? Definately a no-go.
Logitech mice
