INITIAL THOUGHTS
OK OK lets not get into a mass debate about
Apple and its bleeding cutting edge design as there’s
bound to be a company out there with more bleeding
slash cutting edge designed products available (not
sure of all this slashing and cutting analogy - kids
may be reading this before the watershed – Ed) but
the Apple Bluetooth keyboard is sharp.
I decided a while back to use my MacBook with a larger screen, so needed another keyboard and a wireless one was the preferred option. Let those radiowaves carry all those lovely ones and noughts through the ether rather than cluttering up my desk flying up and down some old copper based wiring spaghetti.
I have to be a little honest here and say the keyboard was ordered without really knowing the product but that it was a wireless keyboard from Apple – that be trust that be.
The box duly arrived and my initials thoughts before opening it were wondering if the box only contained the paperwork and surely no keyboard could fit inside this small enclosure. Apple keeping tree felling to a minimum. Saving the planet for our children. Respect for the planet. (Do get on with it –Ed) Sorry about that, I have a thing about packaging.
On removing the keyboard I was open mouthed, I had in my hand a real touchy feely thing, a surrealist dream, a Miro moment, a keyboard for the fingers but would it play to my tune. Yes it would.
How come keyboards of the past are so large, yes all keyboards should now plough this keyboards furrow and lose weight. Just running fingers across all surfaces and this keyboard becomes sculpture
CONTROLS AND OTHER BITS
CONCLUSION
"Step across the line and touch the art." "Sharpen your pencil with this blade."
