Hi all,

Interestingly enough, I got for Christmas, a 
(nearly) full-size keyboard that connects to my 
iPHone via Bluetooth. I'm going to try it out with 
Evernote to see if I can then use my iPHone as a 
word processor with any real productivity. Because 
I absolutely despise text-typing with 1 finger. 
It's a ludicrous way to type. Virtual keyboards 
beat hitting the same button 3 times to get 1 
letter, but they still both stink for typing in 
any length, if you ask me.

I may be wrong, but I took the comment from Kim 
Komando as meaning that 2013 may be the last year 
any desktips will be manufactured, and that we've 
reached a point where they are not worth being 
made any longer, due to changing technology? Of 
course we'd still be using them at home or work in 
many places for a few more years, but does anyone 
know if they're still going to continue 
manufacturing them? Just my thought on the 
comment, anyway. ;-)


Strive On!
Everett
