The Backfire Effect

I do not normally read The Oatmeal, but a friend pointed me to this strip. I find it thought provoking and worth reading. Be warned that it is very long, despite being called a comic, and (as the first part imprecates) you need to read the whole thing.

Argh

The more I type on this laptop keyboard the less I like it. I need to get a decent USB keyboard. Sadly I'm not sure they make them anymore. I want moderate travel and tactile feedback but not the noise of the IBM buckling-spring keyboard. Many years ago Fujitsu made the perfect keyboard but I haven't seen one like it in ages.
