I remembered when I was about 8, typing in my grandfater's home office (yes, he was way ahead of his time). I had an assignment to hand in and it had to be typed (actually, the typing was mostly the point). He showed me how his Streamliner Typewriter worked. I actually marveled at the shiftlock key as is altered the workings so grandly, lifting all the hammers up all at once.
While at the client, I realized for three whole lines the only non-shifted character I had typed was '='. I had capslock on, but had to hit/hold shift many times for '$', '>', '#', etc. Would have been great to hit shiftlock and then just shift for the '=' three times.
Anyone else ever think about it?
Anyone else know a way to make a shiftlock without being a device driver hacker?
Any else think I should have better things to think about?
=] <--non-shifted smily i've grown to use to avoid a keystroke ;]
