So this morning the space key died on my ageing keyboard leading to IM conversations that went something like "goodmorninghowareyouthespacekeyonmykeyboardjustdied". Actually this was no huge surprise as said keyboard contained enough cat and kitten hair to knit a jumper. Repair attempts just made things worse so it has been consigned to the valley of lost things and replaced with a very nice, shiny white Apple keyboard with snazzo features like volume control keys and all for less than a tank of post-Katrina gas.
