my 2 cents

This is the last part of my story about fun with Gravis, as I will never again buy something in a Gravis store!

The short version: It took exactly 30 minutes and I had my money back. As I couldn’t believe that I hadalready spent so much time on my little “keyboard and power-cord” project , today I exactly tracked the time in the store. I went in at 13:32 and stepped out at 14:02.

The long version of the story is no fun to tell, so just notice that in the end 4 Gravis coworkers were involved in the process.

As consolation they gave me a little aluminium box of with about 15 Tic-Tacs inside (see picture on the left). Thanks for this.

The lucky part of my visit there was, that I had the opportunity to take a look at the new ‘iPod touch‘. This device has the same user-interface as the iPhone and I was curious to see it at work. It took me a few seconds to get familiar with the screen keyboard, but the overall impression was: WOW I’m impressed. Most surprisingly I noticed that the speed of the UI is really as fast as in the demos in the commercials.

The rest of the time I wasted to bring up my Gravis story up to the various demo computers in the store. Just to keep potential customers informed about the superior service of the store they are in
