I just have a K330 that I use.... nothing special.

Yeah... it's a big problem. Tent cities all over here right now. There was a rumor floating around that Nevada put a bunch of homeless people on a bus and shipped them here. Not sure if there's a lot of truth to that, but it certainly seems plausible. That construction going on across the street.... they had some of them come and light a roll of copper wire on fire. Got 'em on video doing it in the middle of the night to keep warm. Apparently the sheathing burns for a long time.

Do they salvage the copper for cash, after the bon fire ?

Bet they try lol.

Sounds strange. Someone will probably do something about it soon, - I bet the Governor is receiving a few letters...has to be.

Yea, but it's probably trust worthy.

The K800 is half the cost it use to be. I most likley purchased when they first came out, way back when. I was techy back then....now, not so much lol.

He's gotta be. The mayor doesn't seem to give two poops about it. There is a very large mass of land where Raging Waters once resided (it is abandoned now). It wasn't as profitable as they would have liked.... but it has bathrooms, water, plenty of parking etc. Most of the slides are now unusable and need to be removed anyway. There's kind of a public rumbling, which is gaining traction, that the city should just have them all move here with water, etc. Just to get them in a central location, and get them some things they need.

Yep, it works good. There are very few Logitech peripherals that aren't good. Stay right away from their MK270 wireless keyboard/mouse combo. The range on the set is ridiculously low. I've had to get USB extensions to get the receiver right up on the desk to make it work.

I was just poking through some old pics, and I found some pics of my Lincoln. These pics are 9 years old.... but it still looks the same.

I like everything about my K740 except this (after one year of use):





Well, that and the fact that the Windows key sticks once in a great while. I've already received a replacement from Logitech, but am hesitant to put it into service for fear it will start the same thing. I'll live with it like this for now until the Windows key becomes a real issue.

Things aren't made like they used to be. I used to pull those old Keytronic/Tandy keyboards apart and clean them out. They were built to last.
