Amen to that! Truncating the shift key is a bad move.
When I bought my ThinkPad, I refused to buy a computer that didn't have the standard U.S. keyboard.
I've tried raising that issue with some stores but, as I say, the sales droids lack any sales training and any initiative. Personally, I'm quite aware that there is a model of what I'm asking about 'cos I've looked it up at the vendor's site, and there are even vendor on eBay offering it! But the mall-stores and box-box-stores just stock the crippled keyboard models. Which is odd, because on the other side of the store there are the Microsoft keyboards. the Logitech keyboards, wired, wireless and bluetooth, with the US-normal layout. As I say, when I point this out to the sales droids they are amazed, they claim to have never noticed before. Are they joking me or is the standard of training tat low these days? It makes me wonder if there is a better job opportunity there somewhere? -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
