Yes... Yes! And bats are likewise just rats with a pilot's license.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

The T-Rex 550 already is too big and too noisy. There often are several kites circling high above when I fly. Sometimes they take a look, but's that's all and they are a bit bigger than a falcon.

I know several Dobermans who are very clear on that point.

A friend sent me this picture, so I did a little digging: Delivery of an HDD in 1956[^]
This is before my time: IBM Archives: IBM 350 disk storage unit[^] but it illustrates how much things have changed.
5MB, 0.6s seek time (average), 2000lbs
Cost? $3200 per month lease ...
Now, who is complaining the keys on your keyboard are too small?

Does anyone over the age of two have fingers that are small enough for a Blackberry's keyboard?
Slogans aren't solutions.

My old HP phone had a full qwerty keyboard with similar sized keys, and I used to work that with my thumbs...

Impossible!
ms has dictated that every button on a computer/tablet/phone has to be big enough to hit blindfold with your elbows!
Get with the times, damnit!

That's a fact.
Phone keyboards should be on a ribbon, with "keys" of hugely different sizes, arranged in what ms decides to be an intuitive order (e.g. letters with higher scrabble scores should only be accessible from a tiny drop-down arrow)!
The ribbon will, of course, have to be multi-row, to fill fit the screen, but it's worth any minor little inconvenience like not being able to see what you're doing -- after all, it's the way of the future!

That could make asking a 'uestion difficult... Or sorting from A-' or '-A. But.. it might help in '&A.

I have very large hands but have no trouble with my Blackberry Passport's keyboard. I love it!

There are over 7 billion people in this World. We do not care about problems of 7 blackberry users.

I once took a trip where I booked a seat for a torque reader gun. Think box the size of two desktops together. No stopping, no questions. Of course that was mid 1970's.

I know what a computer is, but what's a "disk storage unit"?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It's similar to one of these[^] - but bigger and smaller, both at the same time!

Yes, I remember how excited my friends and I were when we bought a 10MB 14 inch hard disc unit from a PDP-11 at auction for just $75.00! Took me a month to wire-wrap a board for our IMSAI-8080 to interface with it, then another couple of weeks of assembly to get a working file system for the CP/M

Hah! We designed/built a 3MB ramdisk back in the early/mid 1980s.
It used 8 Mbit dram chips - the biggest that were available back then.
It was the size of a small suitcase and cost £30,000.
Yes, we sold a few...

Would you please repeat that speech when one of the youngsters starts ranting about how to write code again?
