Thank goodness... I was worried after I posted about the shift key thing - in retrospect, my comments seemed awfully condescending. It's hard to tell on the Internet if you have an expensive computer with a functionining shift key, or you possess one of those cheap knockoffs that don't. I thought maybe I insulted you with my comments -

I work in IT. I think it's fair to say i have many-a computer, and that for me typing goes faster when it's for substance and not using extra keystrokes for capitalization. Plus, i'm in linux shells all day, where case-sensitivity matters, so avoiding the shift key is just normal for me.

I hear you with the machine language. But- not unlike the digital world, case sensitivity in human communication matters. So - not avoiding the shift key should be normal when you step back into the real world. I have many an IT friend that spends the day with their head in linux shells - and somehow (not sure how) they seem to manage to separate the real world from the digital realm and send e-mails that are easy on the eyes (i.e. capitalization, punctionation, lack of abbreviations, etc).

:) You're the first person that's ever mentioned it. Have I really not used punctuation? I'll have to go back and look. I thought I used commas and periods fine.
It's funny though hearing you say that this and email is the 'real world'. I haven't heard that before. In my real world, there's no shift keys.

I hate to jump your shit, jump on a bandwagon, or jump at all. I don't like to jump. However, I am in the same industry, and using that as an excuse just makes IT folks look lazy.

"Real World" is anything outside of the linux "box" you operate in. I can see wanting to be "efficient" inside the box, but outside the box - efficiency isn't always the most desireable trait.

If all you're used to is operating in the "box" real world - you really need to get outside and smell the fresh air. Socialization is a good thing.

That still doesn't make any sense, maybe you're just not explaining well enough. You're still contending that anything outside my boxes is considered the real world. as if this is the real world? How you consider that 'the fresh air' just doesn't compute. Maybe because it's people i'm talking to and not directly to a computer, even though it's still digitally? That I can understand.

Tony don't you think its time you just drop it, start over and introduce your self?

For some one that don't have time to establish him self on a new forum you spend a lot of time arguing on it.

Let me fix that for you, my friend!

Dude,

If you are really too busy to develop any social skills, why are you wasting your "valuable" time posting on this board? You came in, apparently made your deal, so move on. End of story. For such a profound and mature individual you are definately not acting like it.

Again the saying holds true "Common sense is not common amongst all people"

...geez...

haha, where'd you get mature and profound??
