Sorry all. I moved my desktop PC from work back to my home. My work PC has internet block (some safety thing). I recently purchased Dragon Age: Origins, and have been occupying my time with that.
As for the PEZ, it's great! I have only charged it once, a full 12-hour charge. Its only 1 bar down and has been for a couple weeks now. I have gone through 2 Xanth novels, and a few times I have even left the keyboard unlocked while I fell asleep in bed reading.
Now for the rubber coating...while carrying the device, it's been scuffed a bith when I carried a small paper manual in the PEZ, but it caused no ripping, tearing, nor has it shown any signs of bubbling or peeling. I figured, when I saw the scuffing, that it would cause some kind of loosening, but nothing, and that was a few days ago.
Anyway, it has performed remarkably. It looks like the manufacturers got it right this time!!
As for my parrot. When it left my home and flew to Robertbs work (he was seduced by the California palm tree promises robert whispered to him), he has no eye patch, and real legs.
What did you do to him Robert? You beast!
