Weird. Now on my third Mac laptop. On all three of them over the years, the paint has eroded on the A key and to a lesser extent the S key. This has happened with EACH one, and it becomes noticeable after about 9 months. This happen to anybody else? Why these keys?

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

I have a Microsoft keyboard hooked up to my Mac (with an HP mouse and LG monitor, heh). My keyboard is maybe a year old and has lots of keys with the letters worn off....e, r, d, c, and s, f, i, o, and m are semi-worn. Ergo Microsoft obviously is inferior to Apple.

Yep. And I feel like it took even less than 9 months.

I've never had that issue with any of my macs...maybe it's that rough Nashville humidity? Confused

Goals?

Yes, exact ones. 'A' is gone completely, 'S' almost.

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
