Drop Testing a Toshiba Tablet

Ouch!
I have never dropped a laptop, but I have caught my eldest prying the keys off a Toshiba Tecra 8100. Ever had to put the keys back on a laptop? When you are ham-handed like I am…it was a two-hour curse-fest with Samantha laughing at me, scolding the boy and grimacing at my language — simultaneously.
One of the shift keys was never quite the same.
Then two years later, I found his younger brother doing the same thing to another Toshiba Tecra 8100.


Ok, this story is better.

A Rant Against Lotus Notes

I have never had the pleasure of working for an organization that uses Lotus Notes as its primary corporate e-mail program. And I never will work for one; this is one of the core beliefs that guide my life.

  • I will never work in a mill or plant
  • I will never work in a restaurant
  • I will never work in retail
  • I will never work for Google
  • I will never use Lotus Notes

Lotus Notes is a long-lost relic of the early 1990s, when GUI design was in its infancy and the precepts were still being laid out. This site, categorizes 70 reasons for the loathing that this dinosaur evokes.
Number #71: Lotus Notes still can’t receive HTML e-mail messages, 10 years on.
