can get the accounts and the MTs are the ones that get the bad deal.  To be honest, I too, am not good with heavy ESLs but I sure try.  I am also slower than most - but I sure try.  There are some ESLs that really try hard and I appreciate their efforts.  Then there are ESLs that are so fast and so sloppy I haven't a clue what they are saying.  There are also horrible American dictators too.  As the above poster said - the lack of decent courtesy is gone.  Their excuse - I'm in a hurry, blah, blah, blah.  Well sometimes I'm in a hurry so maybe I should stop capitalizing words, quit looking up strange words, forget punctuation.  Really!  Have dictators forgotten that there is a real human being transcribing his mess?

That key printing never wear down because the letters are part of the key itself.  They just don't make them that way anymore because it is too expensive to make.  Some of the mechanical keyboards like Cherry have what they double shot key imprinting and the letters are part of the key itself and don't wear off. That IBM keyboard is very noisy from the type of keyswitch it has so you may not like that.  Logitech and Belkin make some membrane switch keyboards that are supposed to have longer lasting key imprints.  I have a logitech that has the longer lasting key imprints and it is pretty good.  You have to look on the specs to find out if has the longer lasting key printing.

I have experimented so much with keyboards and have done a lot of research.  Way too much info.  

Okay, any lefties use this keyboard? How long did it take to get used to? I use my left thumb for the space bar and I notice on a diagram of the keys that I would always be hitting the backspace key.

I'm really interested in getting a better keyboard. I destroyed my left hand and wrist the other week when I fell because I'm becoming a real klutz.

I bought the Soft Flex gloves, but they only help a little bit. My production is down because of it and it's driving me crazy. I can only type an hour without stopping and then have to rest the hand for some time.

I did buy a Microsoft 2000 keyboard but have yet to recieve it. Is this a good one?

Do you use a keyboard tray with it or just set it on the desk? Do you think a kayboard tray would be the least expensive item right now that would help with a straight keyboard?

Any info you can provide to help me in making any decision would be greatfully appreciated.

'Scuse me for being old school, but I've only ever used a straight keyboard.

For longtime comfort which is best - split keyboard mounted on chair arms or split keyboard to be used on the desk?

Also, why the preference over split keyboards that come totally apart versus split keyboards that are permanently connected at the top?

I want to revamp my office and there are so many different options.

This is the 2nd time this has happened.  Believe me, in the olden days when autotext was all there was I had a WAY bigger file, now it's gone.  Not autocorrect, mind you, I use the ESP for that, but the autotext.  It just makes life so much easier. 

The payment's not that big on it, except when there's a mixup at the bank and they deduct one check twice with the same amount and same check number.  It just feels like the money mojo magnet is gone from my life this week!  LOL  Everything seems to go wrong all at once.
