Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Donna, I accidentally deleted the first post from you and am responding to you from one that came through from .I loved your account, and loved 's one-hand keyboard solution as well. Love, n, whose font is flailing. . . . . n, I also learned "touch" typing.. and not being able to actually "feel" the home keys presents problems from time to time.. You should have been in our tech support division, the day that switched the home keys on the keyboard of the 1 other touch typist in our department!.. He also brought in a TSR (terminate & stay resident) program, then installed it on the machine she was using.. one by one the letters on the screen of whatever she was typing dropped into a pile at the bottom of the computer screen.. On another day.. she came back from lunch to find her.. well everything that should have been upside right on the monitor, was now upside down on the monitor.. Once again.. compliments of .. Fortunately.. he couldn't use those on me, because I knew how to fix them.. (other poor girl didn't).. So he got me with things like.. "When is a door not a door?" questions.. AND he wonders why she transferred out of technical support and into the "business" tech support side! and WHY I'm still living with him.. LOL HUGS |)onna On another list, one for cystic fibrosis--and years ago, when my R.S.D. was much worse (Google it) the members used to keep track of my typos-- I remembered the gem I quoted from myself because I actually sent it off to a dear friend in Zimbabwe (yet!).

Then, for fun, I sent a post off to Sharon, showing what happens if your fingers (I was taught touch typing in secondary school) are placed off by one key--kind of looks like Czech or some other Slavic language-- no offense intended to those who use those languages.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Thank you, Donna! Yes!Love,nTo: MSersLife Sent: Sun, November 21, 2010 11:20:39 AMSubject: Re: / reply to Akiba and group That is something I've wondered about . Just what would I do if the MonSter took away the use of my hands, even if only temporarily.. He keeps talking DragonSpeak and installing a copy of that.. I suppose that it would or should work fairly well if that every happens.. but I knock on wood for that one.. So far I've been granted all my requests.. and those were.. If I have a choice between MS and a brain tumor.. I'll take the MS please.. and then If I have a choice between my legs and my arms.. I'll take my arms.. I'll keep that keyboard in mind.. it certainly sounds easier than trying to type single-handed or fingered on a standard layout keyboard.. Thanks HUGS |)onna I can only type with one finger at a time, so switched to a Dvorak right-handed keyboars since the keys are economically placed, which means less hand travel. www.laurabeaudin.com --NOT just another blog! http://practical-homeschooling.org On Sun, Nov 21, 2010 at 11:32 AM, |)onna wrote: n, I also learned "touch" typing.. and not being able to actually "feel" the home keys presents problems from time to time..

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 used to tell all the other people that it was IN his job description.. so he had to "horrify" them.. LOL.. I'm not as gullible as I was 9 or 10 years ago, so it's not quite as easy to catch me in things like.. "What's that on your shirt?".. or "When is a door not a door?".. So he turns his attention toward his boss.. Who, even after 9 years.. STILL falls for something every day.. or nearly so..
