OK. I'm really confused now. Is he for real?
----- Forwarded message from Stephen Kearney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Subject: Re: UUG Site Suggestion Box Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 20:18:05 -0800 Esteemed Mr. McNabb, First let me thank you for your gentle sarcasm and apologise for sending references to a windows program to your Unix(/Linux) Users Group. My modem is only working at 24Kbs and I paused for a minute, but after the page had loaded I thought 'what the hdll'. I have been asked by a Linux user for the equivalent of a keytweak program. I tried to get the interest of a couple of Linux groups and got precisely zero replys. I know that what I wrote to you was tacky, but ETNI IS a better keyboard for the dexterously challenged. I started last week by emailing newspapers. Close to half came back undeliverable. So far I have gotten no human replys. My only reply from emails to suggestion boxes, aside from yours, was from the University of British Columbia. I was advised by Melissa, who is also Dvorak/qwerty bi-keyboardal, to use the options already installed in windows. She seemed unaware that etni is not an option. From your site it seems that your love/hate relationship with Unix/Linux could be summerized with a paraphrase of Winston Churchill: "It's the worst operating system in the world except for all the rest". For me it is unobtainable love form afar. How do I love thee, let me count the ways, 001, 010, 011. It is only in the aspect of how do I interface that I have any hope of making a meager contribution. My observation is that putting etni on the home keys more than doubles the amount of text typed from them. I humbly request that you pass on this observation. That about sums up my suggestion. Oh, and maybe in addition to your T-shirts, you could make some laptop stickers that say "My other keyboard is a Dvorak". Thank you for takeing the time to compose such an eloquent, beautiful and eamj witty reply, Sfdphdj ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
