My teacher said: You are to young to learn to type since you haven't a boyfriend yet with whom you walk pinky. His theory was that as soon as that happens the muscles in your pink become stronger and therefore typing on a mechanical machine easier. <br /><br />Nowadays there is no problem anymore except when I have to type the special danish letters.<br /><br />Thanks for your story.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470810820417327936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-15425967797173068062011-05-25T02:29:23.007+02:002011-05-25T02:29:23.007+02:00I too am a touch typist, and hate these midget key...I too am a touch typist, and hate these midget keyboards on Iphone/Ipod.Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11502895616873273470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-47620707075417115622011-05-08T10:33:26.698+02:002011-05-08T10:33:26.698+02:00Alice, I sent you an invite to RockMelt, a browser...Alice, I sent you an invite to RockMelt, a browser with features dedicated to Facebook feeds (and as such, a very pleasant experience, IMO).Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-79684948548913559952011-05-08T02:30:50.784+02:002011-05-08T02:30:50.784+02:00I check in daily.

I scroll though quickly, though, and try to get a sense of the gestalt of the day, so that I can move on to other things... my back and shoulder both ache if I spend too much time at the computer!alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391518269613728994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-33305681510835378782011-05-04T17:25:46.903+02:002011-05-04T17:25:46.903+02:00The question is, do you need to check in daily, or...The question is, do you need to check in daily, or is weekly frequent enough? I haven't been checking in daily on Facebook for quite some time, and I do assume that if something really serious happens, I'll get a message or mail.Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-43998395544534622402011-05-04T03:43:37.960+02:002011-05-04T03:43:37.960+02:00I wish I could give up facebook so easily.
