Hi Bob, Don't rule out practice just yet. Dyslexia and pour hand eye coordination will make it harder yes, but in the end they will have little effect when learning touch typing since you mustn't look at the keys or your hands anyways. I have M.S. so my hands and arms shake quite a bit some times or my right eye starts screwing with my depth perception and to make maters worse I have *fat* fingers. What really helped me out was the use of a large keyboard, with heavy separated keys like in the days of old; sadly my work calls for use a my laptop most of the time and the keys are quite small and stuck together. -- Guillermo Antonio Amaral Bastidas (gamaral) Free/Libre/Open-Source Software Advocate & KDE Developer http://blog.guillermoamaral.com/ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
