Subject: RE: Tech: Alternatives to Office and Word
P.S.--my word processing program is fine, but my keyboard was a problem for a while. I use it so much that I'd worn down the little nubs on the F and J keys, and most of the lettering had worn off. I'm a touch typist, so had no problem once I was centered over the right keys, but visitors and my son who doesn't type yet didn't like it. It feels like I have a whole new computer, to have this nice keyboard.

But what did I find when I went keyboard shopping? Every single one that had anything more than the standard 104 keys is loaded with symbols for Microsoft programs. They also have three extra keys there just for starting Microsoft. Think it's a consipracy?
