If you put together a mix CD, and then burn it, and then decorate it, and you think it’s a good idea to decorate it bycutting stencils out of scotch tape and taping them to the CD and then drawing around them with a Sharpie so that youget a nifty reverse-lettering effect: it’s not.

I’ve managed to completely kill the left-side CTRL on my keyboard, seriously hindering my copy/cut/paste abilities (Ithink CTRL-C, CTRL-X and CTRL-V constitute roughly half my keystrokes). I’m probably going to have to buy a newkeyboard, which could be interesting, especially as I’m considering springing for one of the fancy “stave off carpaltunnel” models. The only thing is that while I took typing and touch-type in a fairly standard fashion, I havenonstandard quirks–like hitting B, V, T and R with my right index finger sometimes–that might make the adjustment ahorrible ordeal. Anybody have any recommendations?
