This is excellent news about the great development of Gnome3, especially the part about an onscreen keyboard being added. Finally, we can get rid of these clunky, obsolete mechanical keyboards, and only use sleek new touchscreen keyboards, for an enhanced user experience. Now office workers don't need to fumble around with arcane desktop computers with large monitors and keyboards, and instead can do all their work on a 10" tablet computer, from editing complex spreadsheets, to writing detailed documents, to doing video or high-resolution photo editing, to programming. There is simply no reason left to use a desktop computer now that we have onscreen keyboards and tablets. |

Oh Wondrous Seer of Computerize, You left off the [Sarcasm] tags, despite having your text literally dripping with its juices. Thus, do not be shocked when you are attacked as simpleton by those that read only the words using only their conventional meaning. They (many readers) might miss the 10" screen that enhances such diverse tasks as document creation, high resolution photo editing and programming*. In the same spirit, just this once**, I will write sans my sorely needed tags. YBT * Long ago I began programming on what I remember to be a eight inch CRT luggable box. ** And any other time I decide it enriches the humor. |

Quoting:there are simpletons among registered LXER readers? i have not noticed yet You haven't? Perhaps you've been skipping my posts. BTW, on a completely unrelated topic, does anyone know where I can buy a 'clue bat'? |

Keyboards are stupid..ugh |

DrGeoffrey -- I don't have a clue, but I have a bat you can have. |

Ugh keyboards how lame, I have onscreen punch cards, using the virtual punch is a dawdle you can even choose whether your holes are square, circular or lovely star shaped ones just for the kids. Programming is a cinch anything that used to take you five minutes now takes 5 hours meaning you can chalk up more hours and charge your employer appropriately you will be the talk of the town! |

Who came up with the idea that a menu should have different contents depending on whether the user holds down Alt when opening it? Even though I don't agree with the Gnome developers in everything they do, I didn't expect them to go for GUI principles with this level of silliness. |

I thought Alt-click was the standard for moving a window when the title bar was hidden? |
| helios Sep 15, 2011 5:56 PM EDT |
Alt-click is the sound my car makes with a dead battery on a cold morning. |

Sorry, helios, but your idea of "cold" doesn't hold a candle to my real experience of "sh1t it's COLD this morning!". Not that that makes any difference to a bad dettery. |

Gus, I lived in Labrador for a year....Ken knows cold. 3 months out of the year, we had to wear enviro-suits to go out and blast the ice. Texas...not so much. 104 degrees at 5:30 PM as I type. |

Then I stand....er, sit corrected. |
