    fuck the keyboard

    this fucking thing is always in my damn way... when will someone invent a cable that I can jack straight into the side of my head so that I can mentally project the keystrokes into the computer instead of using this prehistoric manual technology we call a keyboard?

      I tried out several of those years ago.... back when they were first starting to put them out on the market.... they sucked ass then, and I can't imagine they're any better now....

          that's kinda cool....

          my main gripe is it's either the fuckin' keyboard or the mouse that's in my way constantly... one or the other has got to go. I'm tired of moving my hand that extra 4 inches every time I need to switch....

            That kinda beats the purpose of all development tools made for designing web pages does'nt it? Matter a fact noooooooooo........

            Think of the newbies that will bring in.

              A keyboard with a built in trackball in the vacinity of the space bar (maybe directly below it ?? built in the center of the wristrest ??), would be really kewl !!

              And WIRELESS of course !!

                now that might work out nicely..... a keyboard with a trackball where the num pad normally is would be cool..... I could live with that...

                anyone make such a thing?

                  or better yet... how about a Lazyboy recliner with a trackball built into the right side armrest, just in front of the cupholder... a cooler built into the footrest, and a swinging keyboard platform from the left side....

                  see... now we're innovating here....

                        ah, but one of the unforseen benefits of the keyboard (combined with the advent of online forums) is that people are actually writing again. i'll be sad when the day comes that software/hardware loses it's need for tactile input. typing is so satisfying!
                        I still love everybody

                                        you still have to move your hands off of the keyboard though ... I think built into that center portion of the wristrest would be better ... your wrists never go there .... below the B and N

                                                    I have a friend that has a wireless keyboard with a trackball in the right hand corner so you can control it while gripping the keyboard from the side. I have to ask him what brand it is.
                                                    I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

                                                                  i have an extra vertabrae so my back is pretty fucked up. sitting in front of the desk/comp for hours is painful as hell. the notebook has freed me from "the desk" and "the chair". i've also gotten quite good at working my cursor with my touch pad which is great for my carpal tunnel bullshit.

                                                                  heehee. maybe you just need grandpa glasses. tri-focal time old man!

I am just wondering how accurate a touchpad is compared to my optical mouse that refreshes at 6000 frames a second ??

                                                                            Amp what is your experience using a touchpad for graphics ??

                                                                            Am I gonna have to keep the Optimouse nearby still ??
