/dev/null Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 TD invented the keyboard because he is such a genius (see related thread) He also layed it out in such a manner so everyone would get carpal tunnel because he is the son of satan (see related thread)

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 just trying to find the smart people . how long did it take to find the best order to put the keys in ?? 344505[/snapback] It's not the best order to put the keys in. The QWERTY keyboard was designed to make typing awkward (I forget why...maybe to keep stenographers employed). People have designed better keyboards that increase typing speed by 50% or so...but everyone's so used to the QWERTY keyboard now that there's no incentive to switch.

The QWERTY keyboard was designed to make typing awkward (I forget why...maybe to keep stenographers employed). 344524[/snapback] They say it is so that you could not type fast enough to foul up the keys. Remember the old manual typewriters? If you got going too fast you would end up with a tangled mess.
Beerball Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 no matter what key board they come up with i will allways be a one finger pecker . 344527[/snapback] So you're saying that 1 finger = a pecker?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 no matter what key board they come up with i will allways be a one finger pecker . 344527[/snapback] That explains a lot. Really, it does.
eball Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 no matter what key board they come up with i will allways be a one finger pecker . 344527[/snapback] delete "one finger" from the above and i think you're spot on.
BRH Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 So you're saying that 1 finger = a pecker? 344533[/snapback] The question is, which finger is he using to describe his pecker?
