Any of you out there still use desk-top computers with actual keyboards? If you do, do you get teased about it too?

    Yes, I have an old desktop at work. My kids tease me about how slow it is.

    Yes, this is being typed on an actual keyboard. Much quicker if you've been brought up to touch type.

    However, I have to use the popup keyboards for foreign languages.

     A son lovingly teased me about it a couple of months ago when he and his wife were visiting us from Arizona. I've tried the laptop and notebook type and I do not like them. Of course the disadvantage is that they are mobile and can go wherever you go while my desk top can only be used at home on a counter. We suit each other to a  T. Plain wrap economy style. No bells and whistles or fancy packaging! Thank you for your reply Malizz and Happy Friday to you m'dear! :)

    Yes, and I also touch type.  I hate to text on phones because it is such a slow process to enter characters with one finger. I use my desktop up to 6 hours a day sometimes.

    I also buy a new computer every 3 to 4 years.  

    Edit:   And I am seldom teased---about anything. This post was edited by tom jackson at January 19, 2018 2:01 PM MST

    At home and at work.  As does my husband. And we are thinking of getting a new one.  Some of us are less tech-friendly.

    I cycle between a laptop with integrated keyboard, a desktop with separate keyboard, and mobile devices. All my kids have and use desktop systems as well. My oldest and his girlfriend both have desktops- imperative because they do online school. There are some tasks that are best completed on a desktop, and I suspect that will always be so. 

    I don't think anyone has ever made fun of me for using a desktop. In fact, my latest one is considered an all-in-one, and is pretty sweet. It gets complements all the time. There's no tower- just a massive touchscreen, with a wireless keyboard and mouse. My son has a pricey gaming computer. The thing is lightning fast. Purely for the benefit of his studies, I'm sure. lol
