I have had my iBook for just a bit over a year. I have noticed, within the past week or so, tiny divots on my I key and on the return key.

Do all signs point to narcissism?

How do all of you long-fingernailed wimmins keep from fucking up your keyboards?
 
You sure it isn't dirt? Because dirt gets on my keys every so often so I just clean it off and good as new.
 
It's definitely not dirt. I wash my hands before I touch my computer, and I never eat and type with the same hand. These are distinct impressions. Tiny, crescent shaped indentations. Barely noticable, but still indicative of the time I spend sitting in front of this seductive little machine.
 
Wow, maybe I shouldn't eat at the computer either...o_O

Is it possible to replace the keys? I'm assuming it's a laptop?
 
I haven't touched the keyboard on my iBook..I hooked up a regular-sized keyboard to it.

There's more room between keys on this joint, so my nails don't get in the way too much.
 
I posted a thread about this before...

have the letters started to disappear on your keyboard yet? I had to buy a new keyboard because I couldn't see ASDF or JKL;

I spend way to much time on the computer. LOL

and yes, I have small indents on some of the keys.
 
I'm sure it's possible, but not at all necessary. The marks are so tiny. Only I'd notice them, probably. I'm kind of proud of them, actually.
 
That's what I was thinking too, key replacement. Maybe you could head on down to your nearest thrift store and buy a few?
 
I killed my last keyboard...so for a new one I got the Virtually Indestructible Keyboard. It seems to be holding up pretty well...

I started a thread on it HERE
 
You're smaat!

I find the iBook's keyboard to be perfectly suited to my teeny-tiny hands... Apparently my hands are the size of the average seven-year-old's.

The letters are holding up quite nicely. The point of contact on the I key is just to the right of the actual printing. A S D & F are not even scuffed.

I advise you to plug in another keyboard in the USB port, because that I book keyboard is going to be more expensive to replace then just some $10 keyboard you can get at the store.

yay for small hands. i have a laptop and most people i know are lothe to use it because the keyboard is too small for them, but it's a good size for me.

and i have no fingernails to speak of so i don't have a problem with indentations.
 
I always spill a drink on or otherwise fuck up my keyboard before something like that happens.

Though I am noting that the keys I use most on this keyboard are somewhat shiny, probably from the natural oil in my fingers.

TB4p
 
you hire a soft fingered wench to type for you and pay her with super saucy sex.

and take pictures. lots of pictures.
 
About half of my letters are gone and I have the finger-nail indentions on n, m, (,), (.), (/), c, d, s, and l. I had to actually list them cuz i have no clue what letter they are just by looking. I touch-type so I never notice. When my mom tries to use my keyboard, she flips and spazzes at me. :rolleyes:
 
Ok....SLG...can you go one day without using the word Narcissism?

And what in the world could it possibly have to do with a damaged keyboard?

Or is your over use of the word some inside joke I am not aware of.
 
The overuse of the word I, brainiac. :D

I'm a soft fingered wench, actually. I keep my nails filed perfectly smooth for just-in-case.

But I do like the idea. I'll see what I can do.

It is all going the way of my diabolical plan.
