Unicomp not Unicom. Seems I need to replace my keyboard too.

The construction sounds nice, but what's with that whole glob of keys
on the right side, making you reach several inches further to get to the mouse? You know, the ones with numbers on them? I ain't no freekin' accountant, I want my numbers on the top row, above the "Q W E R T Y" keys just like on my old Royal manual typewriter. And CAPS LOCK to the left of the pinkie? Puhleeze! Enough to give an Emacs junkie pinkie tendonitis. :-) :-) Now here is a real keyboard for Unix & Emacs geeks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Hacking_Keyboard (available at http://pfuca-store.stores.yahoo.net/ haphackeyser.html) Been banging away on mine for quite a few years now. ;; Gary On Sep 15, 2009, at 8:33 PM, Marcus G.

Yeah, creating a new frame (C-x 52) involves arm muscles, but it does demonstrate touch typing. I mean the real number row, not the glob of keys on the right side! ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org |

Me, touch-typing on a keyboard where I can't cheat by looking at the keys? Well, that would be one way to guarantee less traffic from me on the FRIAM list.
And as Marcus suggests: it would make finding M-C-\ a lot more difficult...

I won't use a keyboard that hasn't got the backslash in the right
place. Over the enter key, where it belongs, and my my pinkie can find it. Also, I use the navigation keys (home, end, etc) ALL THE TIME, so they have to be there. ~~James On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 10:56 PM, Douglas Roberts <[hidden email]> wrote: > Me, touch-typing on a keyboard where I can't cheat by looking at the keys? > Well, that would be one way to guarantee less traffic from me on the FRIAM > list. > > And as Marcus suggests: it would make finding M-C-\ a lot more difficult... > > On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 9:11 PM, Gary Schiltz <[hidden email]> > wrote: >> >> The construction sounds nice, but what's with that whole glob of keys on >> the right side, making you reach several inches further to get to the mouse? >> You know, the ones with numbers on them?
