while we're on the topic of keyboards.. did you know that the QWERT keyboard was designed to slow the typist down? it's true. our keyboards are relics of the mechanical error, and they used to have a problem with people typing so fast that the actual "teeth" (or whatever they're called) would get jammed together.

too bad we don't have some new version of keyboards that is truly faster. it would take a generation or more to get people to switch at this point. limited by our own inventions lol




Actually I did know that and you are quite correct. It's an unfortunate fact that most machines are dumbed down for mass release. To many Ludites in the world even in this day and age lol
