I believe that, Copmom. There've been times I've nodded out during the ads and woke up to find I hadn't missed any part of the show.

leave me when the chips are down

Those commercials are a great time to leave the room and do whatever else you have to do! I think TV shows nowadays are 50 minutes of commercials and 10 minutes of story line!

"...leave me when the chips are down." eh? So I need help cause I'm down which means just like that old lady in those life alert commercials...I've fallen and I can't get up!

Oh sure....leave me when the chips are down. Some help you are. That's alright I'll find my own transport. Or maybe I'll just stay here on this weird planet. Who knows....maybe they'll even teach me how to post in these forums and I'll come back here and sell a course on TV and make millions. Then you'll change your tune. Every where you go you'll see an ad with my picture that says, "As seen on TV".....and you'll come crawling to me for help but I'll just laugh in your face...haw haw haw.....and pretend I don't know you and....
Oops.....gotta go.....Buckley wants to go out.

If I knew how the heck to find a transport, do you think I would still be here? You're on your own.....

Oh! Well that would explain why everyone around here looks so green. I thought they all just ate something bad at the pig roast down the road. So, what's a transport and how do I find it?

The sun is setting in the north? I think it means you're on the wrong planet! Ditch the laptop and hop the next transport back to earth.

Ok....so I set fire to my laptop so I could send out smoke signals....but then the curtains caught on fire.....then the rug.....then my whole house burned down. This did make plenty of smoke but the blanket I was planning to use for the signals also burned up. So, here I am sitting in the driveway with my melted laptop. What I need to know is... do you think it will do any harm to my laptop if I spray the keyboard with WD-40? I thought maybe that would help the melted keys move a bit easier. Oh yeh....another thing....I was checking the sky to see how late it is and noticed the sun seems to be setting on the north....what do yo think that means???

And gets into the dangdest places. I rather like the idea of the projection keyboards that projects the letters onto a desk and detects your finger taps. no more worrying about sloshing coffee into it.

Hall monitors are easy to use, you just have to figure how to turn them upside down and plug in the cables.

Chip.....your problem is that you are using the wrong type of monitor. It shouldn't look like a human, but rather like a large lizard. I find that a 25-inch monitor works very nicely for me.

CP, who needs a keyboard, when you can just type in the air? Yep, today my son showed me how to type without a keyboard. Don't have one? Just type in the air, and whatever you want to happen, happens...lol. He was doing this to get a traffic light to change to green, and while watching him, I thought of this thread...(chuckle). Yep, give me a good old fashioned air keyboard, any day...heh heh heh.

BTW, CP, you know that's how Indians used to tell the time of day, don't you?

I have another problem...sigh. I bought this new monitor who claims he is a human being and not a piece of equipment. I found my monitor at school asking for hall passes. I wish I knew how to use it :/

Wow! Chip has a sundial??? I've just been staring up at the sun to check the time. That could explain why I couldn't find my keyboard.

What time is it? Time to check the system clock. Dang it...my sundial doesn't work on cloudy days :(

Personally I find it easier sending up smoke signals!

CP.....time to pull out your rock and chisel if you can get them away from Fred Flintstone.

UH OH!......My abacus just crashed!!!....Now I'm having to download files using a pair of dice.

"(Mental note to self: go buy a keyboard today)."

Okay, I got the keyboard, but now I gotta figure out how to use the durned thing. Hey...wait a minute...what do I hook it up to? There's some kind of wire thingamajig hanging off of it. Let me go see if I can figure this thing out.

earwa......sorry, I can't type the letter "x" because my calculator doesn't have a number combination for it.

Well, I wouldn't normally use an abacus as my backup PC, but my slide rule has been crashing a lot lately.

CP,so I should use a cordless keyboard to send the correct smoke signals?Now why didn't I think of that.
Goodgotd,transmitting brainwaves in binary.Quite an interesting idea.But I guess you'll need a bottle of paracetamol within range.
BK I guess maybe you are the proud owner of what people refer to as a black berry or one of them green apples?
An abacus?Wow.Haven't seen one of those in ages...

At least you've got a calculator! I'm posting this using my abacus.....

My laptop quit working so I'm typing this on my calculator.

just touch the phone wires (no need to have them *in* the home) and think very clearly.

In Binary. Real fast.

I went out and bought a mouse but can't figure out how to use it on the forums...on top of that my cat wants to eat it :(

Since I lost my keyboard, I went out and bought another one. I can't seem to figure out how to use it to type on the Forums, but it does create very nice music when I hit the keys!

On top of not owning a keyboard, mouse, computer or internet service, I can't read or write.

Well...erm...I don't own a keyboard, mouse, or even computer for that matter. I don't have internet service active either.
