I should learn this stuff so I stop using the wrong terms when I talk about computers.

That's okay, I understood what you meant.

While we're on the topic of computers...anyone have a good idea of how to get a caraway seed out of my keyboard? I had rye bread the other day, and a seed fell in...it keeps moving around but doesn't want to come out...I know where it is by whichever key sticks. There might be a mashed gnat in there too...I watched one crawl in and never come back out the other night too. I'm rough on keyboards. I wonder how hard it will be to replace this one when I kill it. At least I finally taught myself not to BANG on the keys when I type - the dangers of learning to type on an old 1960s typewriter where you had to BANG on the keys to get them to type, but my finger position still results in gouging out the letters with my fingernails...and I don't even have long fingernails...nobody can ever steal my computer and think I won't be able to identify it...mine has identifying scars.

Do you have ants? I have ants sometimes go in and out of my keyboard, I think they clean stuff up in there. If you don't have ants, with most keyboards you can pull individual keys off.

No ants. I think then I'd only have mashed ants to add to my problem. I'm not even going to try pulling keys off. I tried that once before on another keyboard and they apparently weren't supposed to come off. Maybe it'll just get crushed to smaller pieces as I type and come out as smaller pieces. I think it's just big enough that it gets caught on the keys and won't just fall out when I tip up the keyboard.
