Obviously it depends on things like how often you use it, etc. and maybe the
new ones are better, but on the older ones the keyboards and trakpad areas
get very dirty if it used as your daily work computer. Using an external
keyboard and mouse helps, but defeats the purpose of a laptop ... assumming
the person using actually wants a laptop rather than just a fashion acessory
that sits on a desk plugged into a wall power socket 100% of the time.

Nope. We drive on the right side, and you don't.
So you drive on the wrong side...

I said e the "correct" side ... the right side is the wrong side. :-)

We all know Germans are crazy ... they actually like David Hasselhoff's
singing. ;-)

So we agree then. Right hand drive is the wrong side :-)


BTW, I noticed your PM had a sex change. When was Hellen Clark voted out?


And were the sheep around Christchurch traumatised by the earthquake ?

Yep, that's why we drive on the left side of the road ... just like the
old saying "Left is right". ;-)

No idea - the last election, whenever that was. Politicians are all
useless idiots (most of them are ex-management, so that's a given), so I
never bother following the childish nonsense.



> And were the sheep around Christchurch traumatised by the earthquake?

Probably, but that was almost the completely opposite end of the country
from where I am. The TV news, at one point, was more concerned with the
cows because they would need milking and there was no electricity for the
milking machines at some farms.

I'm pretty sure that was meant to be a joke ... although it wasn't much of
one since Helen Clark is really a man (just look at any photo and you'd
find it difficult to believe that is a woman!). ;-)

Sounds about right ... replacing one useless greedy dipstick with another
useless greedy dipstick. :-(

That's the airbrushed / photoshoped version after an expert make-up artitst
has been busy. Try a real photo and you get something that looks like a man
dressed in drag.

Nobody asked you to. You're the one who insisted on sticking your nose in to
prove how clever you are when I was only joking in the first place. Geez,
the Internet gets dumber and dumber by the day. :-(
