Sheesh! And we've all seen autocorrect fail threads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that said, I've never watched Finals week on Flo so I probably am not comparing it fairly either. The sheer volume of Goo is horrid no matter the seats (and yes, they are pretty good seats). If you are watching from Flo you might need to keep close attention to your volumes at home. It fluctuates like old school cable tv during commercial breaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even more fun when you're using a Bluetooth keyboard, yet the iPad still tries to correct you every chance it gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to baseball via the MLB At Bat app and the commercials between half innings go from nearly silent to monster truck commercial loud.

Yep. I bought the Logitech keyboard and case for mine. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She always made us count the words and do the calcs during speed tests. And this was on old manual typewriters... Uphill both ways... In the snow. Not a big deal. We had to carry the typewriters with us everywhere we went - uphill , in the snow, through the floods, during the forest fire, after the earthquakes, mud slides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the teacher make you change the ribbons, too? Blindfolded wearing boxing gloves? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those old school IBM Selectric. Made out of Tank materials so as to make sure if you drop it on your foot - it will sufficiently crush it. We did it without the boxing gloves so I guess we cheated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
