What was the first webkinz made?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That's a good question. I know lots of people question this. The idea I think is true is that a few were made at once. The cocker spaniel must've been their first idea. First, I believe they created the cocker spaniel (on the tag) the pig, the cow, the black bear, the golden retriever, the pink poodle, the white poodle, they gray and white cat, the black and white cat, the basset hound, the st. Bernard, and the frog. Oh yeah, NEVER forget the original cheeky dog and cheeky cat! The unicorn and the pink horse are old as well, but I have a feeling they made them after Webkinz.com became popular.

Fun Fact: My first webkinz was the Lil' Kinz gray and white cat in late 2006. Someone tricked me and looked at the tag, "gave it back", but they gave me theirs. at first I didn't know and got a refund. I got the same kitty with a new tag. Then, on February vacation, I lost her. I named her Zoe. Then, in like 2007, for my birthday someone got me that type of webkinz :)!

What is the name of the 'and' symbol on a keyboard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's called an ampersand. The origin of this term is interesting. Several centuries ago, children were taught their alphabets from flat slates with the letters printed on them called hornbooks. These books listed the 26 letters of the alphabet and at the end included the symbol for "and". This symbol was not part of the alphabet, but was by itself. The children were taught to recite the end of the alphabet "w . . . x . . . y . . . z . . .and per se, and" "And per se, and" became the word "ampersand" since the children were never told what "and per se" meant and they thought it was part of the word.

How was the keyboard created?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The keyboard was created when someone had a dream like every other thing. But the keyboard was created using wires and there would be keys or blocks that where had rounded eages that had numbers on them to use the computer easier because when there wasn't a keyboard people had to use there mouse to do everything and thats also why the on-screen keyboard was coded and made into a computer because if someone can't buy a keyboard and they only have a computer and a mouse they can use the on-screen keyboard. Anyways the keyboard use these wires and round eaged boxes then it would register the keys from which letter number or whatever key it was and put it in the computer exactly how I'm typing this now it was hard for the creator because it will have to register the exact keys and yes some keyboards have a key used to much that it won't work anymore or print out the same number on your computer more that 1 time which that is when the key is over used and to fix the key won't work anymore I just kept pressing the key until it would register into the system but it would still print it over and over more then 1 time and I just deleted the extra ones until it only printed out 1. Hope this answers your question.
