OPINION | BRENDA LOOPER: On the blink


Technology hasn't been my friend lately. While editing a column last week, the keyboard on my laptop decided to take a vacation. Luckily I had an external keyboard in the car (I was house/cat-sitting at the time, and the keyboard had done this once before), so I was able to get back to editing. My friend/birthday twin/sister from another mister Sarah lent me a plug-in mouse so I wouldn't go completely 'round the bend trying to use the trackpad on the malfunctioning laptop while having to use the external keyboard.

You'd think there'd be an easier way. Oh, yeah, it's buying another computer, which as I type this on the old one is en route, so I get the fun of setting up a computer all over again (it'll be oodles of fun later having to re-input networks when I house/cat-sit).
