Journal pjgeer's Journal: "I'm more productive|happier with my [custom input device]"

In the 80's a person might have had a single home computer over which they had complete authority. Now it's unlikely for me to go 24 hours without touching at least 4 different terminals with different pointer devices and key layouts. My authority over them is often limited. If I struggle with someone else's weird setup I am readily forgiven, but if I mess up on a extended keyboard & mouse I look incompetent. So I personally use the most common types of input devices in order to get good at using what I am most likely to encounter.
