Onboard for a keyboard. Dasher to write this.

Some of us with motor control problems can no longer use a keyboard. My fingers won't lift and separate enough to hit individual keys any more. I can still use a terminal, but it has to be in a GUI interface so I can use an on-screen keyboard.

"Funny" might not get you karma, but I wish I had mod points.

Then they'll really be screwed. Do you know how hard it is to make stone tools when all you've got is sand?

My grampa keeps his money under his mattress, you insensitive clod!

You can see what some people think here: http://www.purdue.edu/impactearth.

You're on /. "0", "1". It's what we do.

Ads would stop me from acquiring materials from that source.

OK, made me look.

I was puzzling over Thalium when I saw I'd miscounted by starting at 1, not 0. :D

Clearly.

I know. Closest I could come to transparent wiring.

Clear hydraulic fluid in clear lines; transparent aluminum wiring in nylon insulation. What a concept!

Data files to the accountant is definitely a desirable thing. As for migration, my movement from Quickbooks to gnucash was so seamless and painless that I may have made an unwarranted assumption about the ease of going the other way. I hope I'll never know.

Point-of-sale... Yeah, that would be tough.

I don't know about that. My small business accounting software, gnucash, was pretty easy to adapt from its intended function as a personal finance manager. My Schedule C small business is running along quite happily under it with the addition of a couple payroll tax tables. As a non-accountant, my experience with gnucash has so far been much better than with the proprietary software it replaced. YMMV

AHA!! I just knew astrology had merit!
