My Totally Cool Thanksgiving Gift

November 29, 2008

computers, desktop utilities, gadgets

My family exchanges gifts for Thanksgiving Day. Guess what I got for Thanksgiving?

THIS!!!!

Apple Keyboard

Isn’t it terrific?!

It is the Apple Aluminum Keyboard. It’s BEAUTIFUL. It doesn’t “match” my black PC, but I really dont care. This is the coolest and easiest to use keyboard I have ever had. I just love it!

I have a PC, Windows Vista, but the Apple keyboard works just fine. There are a few fancy media buttons above the FN keys that don’t work for me, but that’s it. Everything else is compatible. The only thing I regret is not having a “mute” key. I use that all the time. But I may be able to find a software program and download it, to resolve that problem.

The keys are very thin and light. They are lighter then Scrabble tiles. I am used to pounding on the Acer keyboard that came with the PC (which wasn’t a bad keyboard; it was probably the best PC keyboard I’ve ever had, next to this Apple). But I’d had my eye on this Apple for a while. It’s a little pricey, at $50. BUT I work at my computer all day long (it’s my business). I have become very fussy about my keyboards and mouses, since I use them incessantly all day.

I am pleased with the Apple. I wondered if it was going to be compatible with my Vista machine, and I am very happy to see that it is. Yay!
