I have not managed to get away from the PC yet… A friend IM’ed me so I am having a conversation with him. So here is more to the blog whist his replies come in. I spent about an hour …
Just got home… Long day… Airport to drop my mother there for a flight to Broken Hill… Then a meeting at North Ryde for breakfast… Then Civenex at Sydney Olympic Park, and then Cebit at darling harbour… A productive day, …
DasKeyboard have released a computer keyboard that they claim can double the speed of typists. What they do is simple – they don’t print any of the letters on the keyboard. Aparently the brain then stops looking at the keyboard …
