I just had to point out that you said "QUERTY keyboard", not QWERTY. Look at they keys, there's a reason for that abbreviation... 8^)

(I went back and fixed it 'cause that's the kind of error that'll bug me for years otherwise.)

Yeah, I knew that (I used to wonder whey they didn't call it an ASDF keyboard, after the home row). I was, in fact, typing with a hand on each keyboard at the time I wrote that, and I guess I must have been thinking phonically and must have been less alert than I thought I was, for my fingers to go all the way over to the incorrect 'U' instead of just slipping along the row.

So I guess that makes it an interesting error, in that it reveals a detail of my mental processing I was otherwise unaware of.

Now I'm wondering whether I've ever typed "QUERTY" before in my life. Argh!
