Left side has select Camera Messages Right Send Clear And forgot what next was, will have to try it, see what it does. There then is Send on the left and End/Power on the right; nothing between. Then there is the 12-key standard phone keypad. I may have some growing pains with the thing, but definitely worth $30.00. Best from, Carolyn

I thought it might send a message like Siri, but I'm pretty sure it only does the contacts, and it is having to adjust to my voice, but finally got one right and called. I just wanted to see if I could make it do it. I am trying to figure how to make it save a new contact. My husband says I want to do it all in a day. I say why not?

I am having some trouble figuring out exactly how to do texts and put in new contacts. My husband says I want to do it all in a day, well, why not?

arrow keys are close together, but the down arrow has a raised lip/line. That makes it easier for me to feel it, but I'm guessing someone with better sensitivity (or normal touch) will feel it better. I've not found an applications key, but where one would be on my keyboard there is a print screen button.... I plan on using sharpkeys to re map that to appliccations when I get a chance.

Re: Sleeping Laptop Won't Wake Up
Gene
When any computer is sleeping or hibernating, the
power button never shuts it off. It always resumes operations. You
can set the power button to do different things if you press it when the
computer is running. when it is in any form of suspended or more or less
suspended operation, the power button resumes operation. To do otherwise
would make no sense.

A funny thing happened with my quest for info on the Logitech K120 keyboard
"Marvin Atkins"
Hello all,
A few days ago I sent this group the below email:
“Hello all,
Does anyone have, or know of, the Logitech K120 keyboard? I can’t seem to
find out if this keyboard has the original six-pack and inverted t arrow keys.
Thanks,
Marvin”
I did not receive a reply: I had looked on the Walmart site, Amazon site
and inquired on Google but I could not get an impression if this keyboard was
what I am looking for; meaning, a standard keyboard with the six-pack and
inverted T arrow keys. Well, tonight I was testing out the IPhone app ‘Seeing
AI’ (app that reads text via the IPhone camera among other things the app can
do) and I thought I will run this across the keyboard I am currently using to
see if it picks up a name. Guess what, I am using the Logitech K120 and didn’t
even know it. How stupid was that? Anyway, I will now order two or three
of these keyboards just to have around in case my wife or I need one.
Thanks for listening,
Marvin
