Oh hell no!
I was cruising some ads for Cast Iron skillets and one of the reviewers gave the skillet a one star because they had put it in the dishwasher and it had rusted after only one use. The worlds full of em!

Static electricity is the enemy in my house for some reason so I switched to this wireless keyboard. The old dell had metal around the frame of the keyboard and cooked a mother board.
The folks at Kensington shipped a new one for free a few years back as the original would no longer pair with the computer. After 10 years and no PB&J only issue is residue on my finger from cleaning the toilet removed the white lettering on the E & D keys. Mouse is responsive and the padding at the bottom of the keyboard is a great feature

I would suggest considering a Unicomp keyboard, especially if you like an IBM Model-M type of keyboard -- as they are a direct descendent of IBM, by way of Lexmark.
You can buy directly from Unicomp's site: Unicomp, Inc.[^]
I own two of their "Classic 104" models and one of their EnduraPro models.
I'm very happy with all three.
Great thing about Unicomp -- if your keyboard ever needs repaired, they can do that too.
BTW...within the last year or so, Unicomp keyboards are now available at Amazon.

Take a look at the Das Keyboard 4 Professional Mechanical Keyboard[^] .
I've been using one of these for about 5 years now and it's worth every penny. The two port USB 3.0 hub is a plus (I use it constantly), but would stick with this keyboard even without it. It's sturdy, all Cherry-MX. It's not a programmable but for work (non-gaming) I use AutoHotkey (and a misused StreamDeck).

If you interrupt someone working intently on a puzzle will you hear some crosswords?

The cross-grained crosspatches who enjoy crosswords will cross swords with anyone who crosses them.

If you are going to keep interrupting people maybe you need a handler.

No, that is most definitely NOT the moral of the story.

I have been asked to extract emails, attachments, contacts and calenders from a number of large PST files and to export the emails as DOCX files. I have written some VBA code in Outlook to do this, but the scope of this project has rapidly expanded and this is now too slow. I reckon there are about a million or more emails and attachments in total.
Can anyone recommend tools (free or paid-for) that can quickly and efficiently do this?
