I don't think condoms work like that.

I remember an old advert in the UK where a WWII veteran waved around his old reuseable, he called it "Geronimo".

Post by: SamirD on Wed, 28 March 2018, 08:07:28: Ah, the keyboard skins. Very nice for keeping keyboards clean. Unfortunately, they changed the feel of the board a lot too when in use. We had one for our keytronic that we used with our 486 back in the day. I think it is the number one contributor to my brother's carpel tunnel in his left hand. I hope we didn't throw that away. I know we have the keyboard and the computer but I'm not sure what we did with the skin...

Indeed, we can include that in the decade's collection of useless "Make x y Again" mottoes.

Wait a minute—the skin caused your brother's CTS? What the heck was he doing with it? :?D
