I like to journal when traveling and in the late 90s or early 2000s I sometimes went to local Internet Cafés and send travel report of the past few days to myself via email.
One time in Turkey on a computer with a filthy monitor and a very worn out keyboard I was close to despair because my emails were undeliverable.
It took me quite a while to realize that the key where every other keyboard layout has the letter i had an i without a dot. The regular dotted i was some key combo.
- Scoundreller 2y agoMy “high-security” email password for a while was a couple of words, but typed one key to the right. Even I didn’t know what my password was. While travelling, Had to lookup an image of a qwerty keyboard to figure out what it was.
- noneeeed 2y agoHah, I had something similar when travelling in Norway. The keyboard was almost identical but I think two keys were the other way round. It took me far too long to work out why I kept miss-typing things.
