Recently, I began noticing the crazy amounts of dust that were underneath the keys on the keyboard. Figuring there had to be some sort of device with which I could clean the keyboard, I called my dad to find out where I could find one of the keyboard cleaning contraptions. (I'll try to steer clear of the alliteration this time...) So Dad tells me I can simply pop off the keys and clean underneath of them. I'm hesitant, but he says they'll pop back on, no problem. He warns me that I should only remove and clean underneath one key at a time.
Yeah, right.
Thinking I'll just be really careful to keep the keys in order, I began taking off five to six of them at a time. I figured Dad was just concerned I'd forget where they keys were supposed to be. It never occurred to me that he might have had other reasons for telling me to only take off one key at a time. Reasons such as, they don't all attach the same way, and some of them won't go back on easily... or at all.
The arrow keys, as it turns out, are not attached the same as the other keys.
Oops.
Sorry, Mindy.
