As a continuation on my hatred for the sleep button on my keyboard, I have employed another one of the useful tools included on this burney machine… The hot knife. Basically it is a blade that acts a a soldering iron but for cutting through plastics etc. So I thought that I’d cut off the corner of my keyboard (the one with the sleep button) to get rid of it once and for all.
This is the knife heating up and the edge of my keyboard where I will make my primary incision.
The primary incision has been successfully made and I am now well on my way to removing the corner.
The removal is proving more difficult than first imagined. Some serious melting needs to be done (meanwhile, my room is just about as toxic as it can get, and I keep setting my tissues on fire).
Finally the job is done and Compaq will no longer plague my keyboard with the sleep button. I can only hope that others will follow in in my path.
