Great spelling error
by dontpannic on Sat Mar 13, 2010 1:34 am
Three and a half years ago, when I first started my job with my current company - I had to order some keyboards to replace keyboards with missing keys etc. I ordered some Genius keyboards. Low price, no multimedia buttons, does the job perfectly.
Back then, after installing a few of them, I noticed something on the box that was slightly odd. Thought that it was a dodgy batch and be done with it.
Last year, we kitted out a new IT suite. New machines and new keyboards. I ordered the same ones - worked perfectly in the other rooms, so why not? Got the delivery - and the same spelling mistake was there! Two years after I first spotted it and it still slips through the net. Fast forward to today. Updated models of the existing keyboards. I unpack the delivery, and spot a new box design, keyboards have been redesigned too. But what do I notice?????

Classic case of a playground crush, I'm like the girl whose pigtails he used to pull in primary school, only slightly more male.
Can you hear me now? Hear you, I can see you, ya dick

Are you saying the girl Nomad used to torment at school was a bloke, or that you're more than slightly girly...?
