Do mineral based life-forms have thumbs?

[ttfn]

I was thinking more of the hairy, tree-swinging type, Dave ;)

but it'll stop them using suboptimal text entry interfaces.

[ummmm]

Nothing will stop the apes :-)

Yes, I don't see why not.

A qwerty keyboard, to a new user is daunting, but we adapt pretty quickly to them, so much so that they become the norm' before we know it.

If this layout is rolled out across all keyboards once again we'll adapt.

Don't understand the question about "apes posting on forums"?

[ttfn]

Apes, too, have opposable thumbs, B00.

I would certainly give it a go, I have a galaxy note so I need two hands to type anyway, I also type quite slowly so I think it would suit me! im not sure If I could co-ordinate both hands though, that would be my problem :-( im a one finger typist because of that, so I'm really not sure.

B00 - remember the appeal of this ad?

[B00]

Yes, sadly, it gave me the willies, it fact it still does, thanks for that :-(

[ttfn]

I thought you adored cats, B00?

[B00]

Nope- I quite liked cats, until I got one, now im scared of 'em.
