If I were to list out the many things I do with my leatherman it would be a very long list.
I got distracted. This post was about keyboards.
Mass Communicatin'
I use my laptop keyboard a lot. I do a lot of typing in meetings. One day, it started behaving oddly and I needed a replacement. So I had the local computer department order me a replacement. Only, it came without a ribbon cable, which was part of the broken piece... I wanted 2 months for a keyboard that didn't work. I decided to do the repair myself, and order the repair piece myself, because I felt like I had already taken up too much time from the computer department. They are REALLY busy, and I have the skills myself.
In the 2 months the second replacement keyboard took to arrive, I used an external USB keyboard. It was a pain to have to haul that around to meetings, but I did.
Today the new keyboard came.
It was damaged in shipping. The key in the corner bent up there is the ESC key. (OH NO! I CAN'T ESCAPE!)
I whipped out my leatherman, bent the corner back into place, installed it into my laptop and viola... it works just fine.
If I were back in the U.S. I would have rejected the package and ordered a new one, and it would arrive in 2 days.
But not here. Here, you have to make due. Which is why a leatherman's is so helpful!
