The most E >< pensive letter
You must be wondering, what’s the matter with the title. Why did I use “><" instead of the letter after 'W' and before 'Y'. Well, that is because my iMac keyboard is spoilt! The letter between 'Z' and 'C' on my keyboard is faulty. I can press it down but nothing happens on screen.
Sigh, I guess I have to buy a new Apple keyboard. I've been abusing this keyboard for 2 years already. Time for it to retire and let a new keyboard takeover. But the new Apple Keyboard is $78 lor! Wah piang. I'm going to spend $78 just for 1 letter? That is the most e >< pensive letter!!!
What to do? Will die without that letter. Cannot use the shortcut for cut too. I thought of buying the Apple wireless bluetooth keyboard. It’s just $20 e >< tra. But then, the only problem is that it doesn't have the number pad. I need the number pad. So too bad Apple, it's going to be the wired keyboard for me until you release a wireless bluetooth keyboard with number pad.
PS: Maybe I should stick to using this faulty keyboard. I only use that letter for 5 times in this blog entry. I think I can do with that letter. Stick with using >< or virtual keyboard. Wahahahahahaha. Kidding kidding.

Jayden: I’m using a wordpress plugin call “WPtouch iPhone Theme”. But it only supports iPhone and BlackBerry. Thinking of finding another one soon.
Try to take out the key and see if you can figure out what’s messed up..

NTT: Tried. But no use leh.
Oh ya. Actually I can copy the letter from somewhere, then press Ctrl-V when I need to type “x”. SEE! It works.
try calling up apple support? I’m sure they’ll fix it for you, at a fee, at least it’s going to be way cheaper than buying a new keyboard
If cost is a factor there are a bunch of Mac looking keyboards that will work. A simple USB plug in keyboard. The brand is Sensonic and distributed locally by McLogic. Can find at Challenger and other shops.

Yongwei: Actually, buying a new one is cheaper and easier than repairing. Never heard of people repairing keyboard.
JamCanSing: Too late, bought a new Apple keyboard already.
