Heh, don't ruin the OP's image of a Victorian maiden sitting in front of a steampunk machine full of vaccum tubes, copper pipes, tesla coils... and a typewriter-style full action keyboard with a complete array of function and modifier keys...
Is it possible that there's a "Canadian Keyboard layout"?
I'm asking because my fingers sometimes get schizophrenia when it comes to typing. See, here in Mexico some computer keyboards come with the "Spanish" layout and others with "Latin American" layout.
All the accents and letters are there, of course, but there are subtle differences (like the location of the acute accent and the @ sign) that just drive me mad....and of course, square and curly brackets and the lesser-than and greater-than symbols are in awful places, so if I want to do any coding, I need to plug in a "US English" keyboard
Fake newscasts are the reason I no longer watch the news on TV... And since Radio news is a refuge of the rightwing wackos (at least where I live), I am left with newspapers and the internet....so visiting newspaper's websites (with adblock plus) is the best compromise for me

This is the main reason people see no need to switch to Linux in the developing world
System76 has some nice laptops with Ubuntu preinstalled.
Of course, Ubuntu-haters will probably argue that the original poster wanted "no annoying shit installed" but I'll say that Canonical's OS is my current choice.

And ketchup instead of bat blood...
Now they have to wait until the moon is in the Eighth House of Aquarius again to attempt the resurrection
Maybe I'm gettin' old, but I don't know what the hell a nettop is.
It's sort of like a "desktop netbook"

For a second I read ".nsf/work"

The actual ideal would be base e, but it's really hard to build a system around irrational numbers.

For some reason, my work computer wants me to do Ctrl+Alt+Del to login every day... weird
