I was about to say it might be time to get out of dodge on HFCanes, bad juju seems to be getting around in here
That said, this bunch of jerks seem to be a pretty good emotional support group!

A serious issue arises in my hunt for a laptop.
As you might be aware of, people other than Americans often have a different keyboard layout to accommodate for the different letters in the language other than English.
As it happens, I love and cherish and have chosen to need my tall Enter key.
And whaddyaknow, various manufacturers have started to make their own take on the Swedish/Finnish keyboard layout. And many of them tweak the right hand keys in a way that it has the American Enter key. Alas, seems to be the most of them.
And to make it worse, practically every online vendor sell their laptops by using the American promo pictures that obviously have the US keyboard. So in practice you will need to see the exact laptop live to be absolutely certain what the keyboard layout is.
I went to a store today and was horrified to learn about the American Enter issue. But also I got sillily intrigued by the Norwegian retailer Power having their own brand of computers: Cepter. Looks like they are made into the chassisses of the better known manufacturers.
This HPish started to tingle my fancy a bit. Mostly because of the the price tag, but also for the oddness value:
CEPTER DREAMBOOK N530-02 15,6" KANNETTAVA TIETOKONE - Power.fi
You can see the detailed tech data under "Tekniset tiedot".
But I'm also eyeing at the low end gamer options, mostly because of the full-sized arrow keys.
It's hard being a first-worlder I tell you.

I've been in St. Lucia for the last week on honeymoon. Currently in the airport for the return flight.
I'm not ready to get back to reality

Which reality are you dreading more: the days are way to busy, or each day is no longer for getting busy?

I remember back when Americans made the best damn Enter keys in the world.
We used to call it "Return", as was the fashion of the day.

Sounds like a club banger.
Story tells that
John and Paul looked at each other and ran to the studio.
I wish I had any musical talent.

Of the realistic superpowers, musical talent is way up there on the list. Specifically an amazing signing voice. Imagine being able to just sing a song and hit every single note with the exact inflection you want, and people just fall all over themselves to pay you money to do it again. Must be a cool life to live.

Nah. No shortage of greedy people trying to booze you, use you, drug you and f*** you. It's better if I just pack steel and you do what you do.

f*** dude, even as someone with legit musical talent, I couldn't do that shit. My brain isn't wired right and I don't have enough weed. Then again I'm one of those guys where music is math to me. There's weird, there's f***ing weird, and then there's us.

A little bit egotistical there, aren't you Lempo? I may occasionally boast about my virility, but c'mon . . .
