Hi TeenageInsider,

What a clever handle. Welcome aboard and keep us posted on your inside activities. You seem wise for your age, far wiser than I was.

As for me I was baptised when I was 16 -- but that was a few years ago -- like 66!!!

I love it when they call cuz it gives me a chance to divulge the fact that I studied with them many years ago. Not a lie -- I simply don't expose the fact that I then became a MS, an elder, developed a bothered conscience that resulted in disfellowshipping.

Their inevitable question -- "Why did you stop studying?" -- is the perfect lead to my introduction to The Great Watchtower Contradiction, an 11 minute read designed for new ones but which poses questions on topics that the most seasoned JW would cringe at.

Contradiction contains a table handout that you can snip for purse or billfold. I always keep my billfold handy.

Does it matter what kind of keyboard you type on?

i have been typing on the same keyboard for almost 17 years and i'm so used to it i don't want to go to another kind of keyboard if anything happens to this one.. in fact i have a backup model of the same keyboard since they are so hard to find.

it's the old ibm model m keyboard.

i love the sound of the feedback and the racket it makes compared to the newer keyboards.

Hi LRG,

I had a keyboard many years ago that looked kind of like yours. It was a Northgate and I loved the feel / click. Also the function keys in two columns on the left which I used for AutoCAD. Unfortunately, that one bit the dust as it couldn't cohabit with later computers and I opted to buy ($9.95) one of the "natural" keyboards a dozen years ago. It doesn't have the click that I like but I love the "natural" slanted key positions. It's tough to type on an ordinary keyboard since.
