Don't trust Ebay

So, like I blogged about...6 months ago, my laptop "a" key is broken.

Still.

So I've been carting around this spiffy ultralight USB keyboard which I need to plug in pretty much whenever I use my computer, even if I'm not going to type, JUST BECAUSE my password has an "a" in it.

"...Change your password?"
No. It's a matter of principle. Because my name has an "a" in it, there must be an "a" in my password. It makes just as much sense as my mom's revelation that my children's names must start with "b"s because they are second generation American Chins (goodness, what a strange phrase). Apparently she planned this out, which is why my brother and I have names that start with "a."

"Dude" "it's" "annoying" "how" "many" "quoted" "letters" "I've" "typed."

So my original point was, I learned that apparently you can replace the keyboard on a laptop with little risk to the motherboard and I ordered a replacement keyboard off of Ebay, after kicking myself for not finding out earlier and saving myself endless accumulated minutes of poking the "a" key because I needed to access my computer and forgot my keyboard somwhere else.

Where was I? I ordered the keyboard three weeks ago. And it's still not here.
Don't trust Ebay.

Aww, that sucks. Have you tried contacting the seller or filing a dispute? http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/inr-snad-process.html

Hope it works out. =)
