[Shop-talk] keyboard help

[Mike Sinclair]

I also am right-handed, but use the mouse with my left hand for the same 
reason.  I taught myself to "ten-key" using the number pad, and after a 
short time, it is second nature.  There is even a second Enter key at the 
number pad.  I'm so used to doing it this way, that it is now difficult to 
use the mouse with the right hand.  I recommend it.
