The rows of keys were tiered, not flat like computer keyboards -- with the number keys higher than the QWERTY keys, which were higher than the ZXCVB keys, etc. It was impossible to type with your palms down. Correct typing position was to have the hand hovering over the keyboard. Funny, but we never heard about carpal tunnel syndrome then -- but, of course, we didn't hear about any repetitive-stress injuries then, and there must have been some. I suspect that computer keyboards were not designed for touch-typists, but for programmers, whose typing would be in relatively short bursts. I always carry a paperback book with me to tilt the keyboard (well, okay, and to read). --------------------- William Limbacher Omaha, Nebraska [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------- ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
