On a blog called All Techno Blog, I found this keyboard that the person who has the blog says is a new kind. Uh no. They say that the keyboard and the computer are packed together and that this is quite new to computers. Uh no. As I recall, the Commodore was like that. And my husband still has his Color Computer which is totally in the keyboard. So, I thought I would like to say something about it. But captcha (or whatever that abomination for checking humans is called) being what it is, it would not allow my comment to go through. I tried it nine separate times to get my comment to go through and it refused me each time. Now, I had not been on that blog before so it’s not like I have been banned or anything. It simply was not allowing me access.

So, in order to have my say about that subject, here in it’s entirety is my comment to that blog person:

I’m not going to cough or politely say something to make things better here. This is not new at all! My husband still has his old Color Computer. It still works. It is STILL in the KEYBOARD. Now, I may not know much about computers but even I can see that the statement about something new is ridiculous.

Okay. Off my soapbox now. Nice pictures.

Now, is this comment mean hearted or slamming? No. I am after all giving them a link from my own blog to theirs. It is simply about me not being able to comment on a blog when it is obvious that others are able to do so. Is that fair? Nope. Is it fair that I am left out? Nope. Of course, I have no idea what is wrong with the captcha thingy. It just did not work for me. So, in this post is the link for the item they are trying to get you to see. Have at it. Hope you can comment where I could not.

    I had a plug in on one blog for capacha but it stopped working and refused to let people comment, maybe that was your problem.

      It might have been that. It’s why I did not put any blame on the blog or blogger for that. I am certain that blogger was not trying to stop me from commenting.

      I do thank you for your input. And thanks for visiting.

    It sounds like there is a problem with the captcha, rather than you efforts

    A simple numeric capacha should do the job, backed up by either Mollom or Akismet

    reCaptcha is a bit overkill just for a commnet section

      Yes, I thought so too. And yes, I believe it was a captcha problem not me. But it very effectively stopped me from commenting which was the point.

      Thanks for your comments!

    I check out that site that you put in a link to, it had lots of comments about Commodore and laptops. You aren’t the only one who noticed. At least your comment was not a grumpy one. :)

      My comment never got there so I was wondering how many others had that problem too. I dunno. Possibly many did. So that even more would have mentioned it. And no, I was not grumpy about it. But I did have something to say and I needed to say it. *grin*

      Thanks for your comment and visit!
