$29.95 with free shipping and, even tho I don't hardly ever look at the keypad, I wanted this for those keys you don't use very often - - - - NO, I didn't get it at AARP, I got it at Amazon. :p:LOL:

Heck, even I can see that one from here!:eek::eek::LOL::LOL:**)**):whacked:
Dose it glow in the dark too?? :LOL::LOL::LOL:
What is that, about three feet wide Em? Those keys look like the old ABC blocks!!
My first quick glance I thought it looks like a rectangular Scrabble board. Hope it works well for you, Em.
I have no idea how my fingers learned this stuff, but as soon as I feel those little indicator bumps under my index fingers they type away and hardly ever make a mistake.
What are these "indicator bumps" you speak of???;):LOL::LOL::LOL::p Some kind of magic??:LOL::LOL::LOL:Quote:

It's the cat's meow, Gents, but I must admit that there was a little Retina "attachment" involved.:cool:
(I don't even notice any physical size difference at all)
I have a preference for keyboards that have a little molded in raised bump on the F and J keys which allow me to feel that my fingers are oriented correctly on the keyboard without even looking at it. Once you get used to the "efficiency" of that it's a noticeable downgrade when the indicators are not there. Of course if a person types with one or two fingers "hunting and pecking" it makes no difference.Quote:

wrong choice there
My first typing teacher had a "crush" on me. He was a tough cookie who recently came to our school from a type of reform school for delinquents. So I was turned around in typing class talking to the guy behind me when all of a sudden I was smacked right out of my chair to the floor. It didn't really hurt but he made his point and I didn't bullshit in his class after that.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking but, considering the guys I hung out with, it was the best thing for me to do.Quote:

First 8 years was Nun, Nun, Nun, :eek:
Then Priest, Priest, Priest
Was a slow learner
I was also educated in a Catholic parochial elementary school, all nuns except second grade had lay women teachers. I loved Miss Barbara my 2nd grade teacher. Then I went to a Catholic high school for boys with Christian Brothers and that was the most impressive educational foundation I got and a great prep for college. After that I went to a Catholic college, Villanova U., and got my BSME. But I pretty much stopped being a "good Catholic" early in high school when I started skipping mass and spending the Sunday donation on pinball machines.
Yeah,well..I can see it from down here....:pQuote:
