Heh heh

Just the opposite with me, I gave up capitalizing on most of the work I do on the PC - but that's probably because it has a regular keyboard and my Mac is an iBook. The keyboard is a big reason that I like laptops.

I use a Dvorak layout and, try as I might to correct it, "the" comes out wrong (teh) most of the time. Recently ions have been going bad and become like a standard student reply - ino (I know). But it's just laziness - ino.

As to a touch typing program - try Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor. Lots of fun and flexible too. (No relation to the authors - I just like the program a lot.)

That makes two of us
I get it right by raising my left hand a centimeter above the keyboard before typing th-words containing letters on the left hand (esp. "the" and "that").
