I'm skilled typist, I've been in database development and application
support for 32 years. My problem is that I've been typing for so long that I
forget how to form words when I have to pick up a pen!

I have one of these on my work PC. It took me a while to get used to. ;O)

I did try an ergonomic keyboard when they first came out but never really
got on with them. I think the problem was that I sat in front of so many
different servers, terminals, PCs and Unix boxes that swapping between a
normal and ergonomic keyboard was a pain.

I'll probably bite the bullet a get a new keyboard at some point but it irks
me that there's nothing wrong with the one I have and I like the scroll
wheel on the left. I'll give it a while and and see if I can live with it as
it is.

So it goes..
