AlphaSmart 3000 Entries #1, #2, and #3: getting 2 no u

#1: ??? (sometime 2015)

hello i'm testing my funny new device
the keyboard sure is... mechanical.

#2: ??? (Fall 2015? Summer 2016? rly idk)

okay this is no longer a test. i have a to-do that i've had for eight months. to "journal" my holiday trip home from 2014. And, I had a bad day today because i didn't write well.

Jesus, the keyboard on this thing isn't so great. Given that it IS a keyboard, that's not good.

"this thing" is the alphasmart 3000, and my hands are going to get either strong or RSI if i decide to use it much.

here's the todoist note that i put on this to-do:

well, no wait. it won't let me look at the comment on my phone or tablet because i no longer have (lulz) todoist premium.

turns out i'm too tired to write much right now. i'm going to read or watch something, and go to bed.

#3: Last Night

okay experiment we'll see how this goes

i bought this thing awhile ago
that link is the only link these entries will have

it might suprirse you to learn that this keyboard is crappy

given that the whole POINT of this thing is keyboard, that is weird right?

it's mechanichal in a bad way, although i do woner if it won't get less sticky with use i mean i have let this thing sit on the shelf for awhile. a year, almost? i can mark it: i had recently started HEY YOU KNOW WHAT?

okay this thing is brilliant. it's doing exactly what i hoped it would do.

first of all YES it has a shift key and all that; t's a pretty ordinary keyboard. so this whole less-punctuation uncapitalized 'i's thing is  a total indulgence and affectation on my part and you should cal lme on it.

JAYSUS these keys are sticky. like: my hands are gonna get stronger if i keep this up.

i think i will.

the whole POINT  of a device such as this is its purity --- there is nothing but you and the text. and not even the WHOLE text: the little display is four lines tall so i _could_ go back and revise but c'mn. also: minimal formatting.

so here's what we'll do. a few times a week i'll pick htis thing up before bed, as i have just now. it's 1:42am Saturday morning; I've just fotten bac kfrom La MErida where I saw an old friend play officer Krupke in a rather good productin of _West Side Story_. I'm sorry i'm not going back for these spelling errors but these KEYS. anyway:

i will pick this thing up and write wht i feel like unti i'm too tired. not my fingers, i guses i mean: my brain. but wow heyese kesy.s but that that's what i'll do; this is the first enetry.

i'd say tings are off to an auspciiosu start.

o there's  button called "spell check." and a button "applets" (?). and a button "clear file"; hope that las tone at lteast gives a yes/no warning.

i'm gonna google "sticky keybard" and stuff like that .

oky i'm done i am fallng asleep.
