The TextBlade keyboard is superb, but you'll have to be patient
I dub thee the justice seeking Captain of the Avengers - sounds like MK needs to be wary of the Endgame :-)TextBladeDenied said:
I wrote off the purchase price long ago. Not benefit of doubt. Preserving my claim on original terms. Life is going to be hard for Mark Knighton. Wait and see.alexonline said:
Well I stopped believing the BS two years ago and got a refund, while you haven't claimed a refund yet... Hahaha :-)
Still willing to give "Naughton" the benefit of the doubt but my refund has been processed long, long ago.

Never heard of the "no true scotsman" argument being called that - looked it up and found good ol' Wikipedia has it all covered, while Google naturally has 4.7 million results.Mike Wuerthele said:Discussions = fine
Bickering and "no true scotsman" arguments = not.
Knock it off.
I'm guessing everyone else has long ago heard of the "no true scotsman" argument, but for those that don't and are already here, here's a link and the "origin" of the term.OriginThe introduction of the term is attributed to British philosopher Antony Flew, because the term originally appeared in Flew's 1971 book An Introduction to Western Philosophy. In his 1975 book Thinking About Thinking, he wrote:Imagine some Scottish chauvinist settled down one Sunday morning with his customary copy of The News of the World. He reads the story under the headline, 'Sidcup Sex Maniac Strikes Again'.Our reader is, as he confidently expected, agreeably shocked: 'No Scot would do such a thing!'Yet the very next Sunday he finds in that same favourite source a report of the even more scandalous on-goings of Mr Angus McSporran in Aberdeen.This clearly constitutes a counter example, which definitively falsifies the universal proposition originally put forward.('Falsifies' here is, of course, simply the opposite of 'verifies'; and it therefore means 'shows to be false'.)Allowing that this is indeed such a counter example, he ought to withdraw; retreating perhaps to a rather weaker claim about most or some.But even an imaginary Scot is, like the rest of us, human; and we none of us always do what we ought to do. So what in fact he says is: 'No true Knighton would do such a thing!'

I have “The Orville” on the brain, I love that show. I actually saw in one of the episodes a TextBlade being used on the bridge, there was a reference somewhere if you squinted that it finally launched in 2398 after extended firmware rewrites and several thousand generations of new Li-Ion batteries needing replacement in the original batch, which lasted all the hundreds of years of extended re-development - well, the key caps etc lasted, the magnets stayed magnetised, but the batteries died thousands of times in the intervening centuries due to flux capacitor problems).
Of course I meant Orwell when I spoke of Orville but, it’s too late to edit it now. I knew it didn’t seem right but I was in the midst of things when I wrote it. Long live The Orville!
Maybe DBK is Da Big Kaylon? Those super fast fingers would produce amazing WPM test results :-) -
