Wow!
Getting used to typing on the TS1000 is quite a learning experience.
On one hand I love it and on the other I want to scream! Ha, ha!
I guess eventually it will become "second nature"...
Till then....

The "touch" type keyboard or the keyword entry system

You might find yourself developing a style of input which is more 'stroking' than pressing. This was typical back in the day before add-on keyboards were commonplace.

Ha, ha!
Yes I can see how a bit of "sliding" across the keyboard would be in order!

Ha, ha! Thanks! I'm excited to continue my learning and see if I can learn to "press" this machine to or near its limits.
Although, it may take the rest of my life!
