xsphat, sorry to threadjack but is that a Topre switch? Could I maybe see the underside of the keycap? I have five old typewriters with all manner of switches, and I want to identify them.

The one on top is Cataryna.  She is a 7 yr old bengal cat.  Simba (on the bottom) is still a kitten...He's a 7 mo old white bengal (and is already bigger than Cataryna).

Good looking cats iMav.

The one I posted above is my wife's cat, this one is mine:





He's a Manx, which is why he doesn't have a tail.

I would love a cat but I don't think my dog would appreciate it.

This is a very common mistake.  The cats do not belong to you, in fact you belong to them.

You should feel privaledged that theu have decided to adopt you and look out for you. :D

So true! My partner and I have two cat masters, neither of them are interested in keyboards. Jasper sits next to me sometimes when I'm on the computer. Patsy likes to sit on the scanner.

That may be how they see it, but then what do they think when I move them from a chair so I can sit down?
