Well, that doesn't sound too good. Regardless of his sexual orientation,
he sounded like quite the genius.

Of course, the fact that the television wasn't invented until 1920's
was problematic.
400 years of continous losses and absolutley NO ratings was both
difficult on management and stockholders, and utterly demoralizing
to the staff.

When I'm using Konqueror I have to make quite frequent use of its ability to send
custom headers to specific sites. Sad really, considering it has no trouble rendering
them.

That click sound would nearly drive one nuts as one listened
to a roomful of programmers tapping away.
My favorite keyboard for touch was that on the Atari 520ST.
Just enough resistance to feel like a keyboard, but not
enough to slow ya down.
My current favorite is the Kensiko ergonomic keyboard, though
it could be less noisy.
I don't like the recent Crimosoft "natural" keyboards; too
cramped and tiny, not to mention that Crimosoft logo on it.
