Dear List: Like Sam I had to suffer under a tyrant teacher and learn handwriting with a steel nib pen. My handwriting was allways terrible and never improved :-( Thankfully I suffered under another tyrant - a nun who taught me piano technique. This transferred to the keyboard and now in the age of computers I am one of those who can touch type quickly - one reason why I am so adverse to using a mouse. I was using a CAD program last night, SCHEDIT, and thinking that it uses hotkeys as much as does Arachne. For such an old program it is quite good. A far less pleasant experience was trying to deposit some minutes I typed up as .rtf into our corporate body computer - a recent window$ machine with the full horror: microsopic icons, ratty mouse, ill;ogical dialog boxes, ridiculous directory structure, shortcuts that arnt, clipboards that erase files, non handling of tabs, things stuck behind each other, help screens that wont go away, programs arguing about what file type they want, refusal to take a command, demands to go through an iterative technique to get the action you want,....etc
