I am posting this frpom my new lapto.  It appears to be in some strange dialect because the keyboard is only 85% as large as a standard keyboard.  I am finding that I—and my fat fingers—really miss that last 15%.  So if I writg something particularly offensive or nonsensical in the next few posts, please give me the benefit of the doubt and assme the fault is on the part of jmy stunted keyboard.  And if you read something mindnumbingly silly… that I probably can’t in good conscience blame on the laptop.
