Just speculation; but I would not be surprise to find that this is one of reasons many are not good typists even if we have memorized the keyboard layout and can type without looking at the keyboard. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-epson-inkjet@leben.com > [mailto:owner-epson-inkjet@leben.com]On Behalf Of Robert Meier > Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 11:12 AM > To: epson-inkjet@leben.com > Subject: RE: Two-Monitor advantage?
