Why? Because they used "Gun Wall" instead of "gunwale"?

That is what it means.

Etymology: 1466, gonne walle, or in modern English, gun plank,,,

You need a keyboard with bigger keys!

No, I need one that hasn't got a half cup of Sprite down its
gullet.....I have tried everything I can think of to get them clean but
nothing seems to work and it's a brand new laptop...



The only way to clean it is to take out the keyboard, soak it in water,
dry (completely of course), and reinstall. You could also use some
isopropyl, but you have to be very conservative with it.That might not
fix the problem entirely, but it'll help. I did something similar to my
old laptop and it's working fine except for a single key that tends to be
a bit mushy. It's not easy to do, so you might want to bring it in to a
local service place. They've got the tools to pop it right out. Shouldn't
cost all that much.


hmmm...I will do that once we go home for the summer...there isn't anypace
here I would trust with my laptop....
can't see how it pops out, tho...the casing comes over the ttop of it..I
think it wil have to be taken apart...sigh...



Yeah, basically, you have to remove a number of screws on the bottom (the
correct ones), then the cover opens up. Every laptop is a bit different, so
if you're not comfortable doing it, take it somewhere.
