Broke my hand (Score 1)

I broke my hand in an auto accident a few years ago while majoring in computer science. That semester I had 3 programming-heavy courses, and couldn't afford to skip a semester. I tried to find someone to program for me (for payment), but, even with a cs student is didn't work well enough to be productive (you just can't tolerate the continuous spelling correction delays. I looked into Dragon Naturally speaking, but at the time (1997) there was no way it would understand the syntax of a programming language. Unless things have changed a lot since then (which i doubt they have), you can still forget that. Ultimately I gave up trying to find a solution and just bucked up and programmed with one hand on a regular keyboard. The biggest slowdown was the shift key (needed for mixed-case variable names, etc.). However, even with that, I still managed to finish all courses with A's. The insurance company even upped my payout amout for pain and suffering (the accident was the other guy's fault). In retrospect I probably could have gotten away without mixed case had I explained the situation to my teachers. All lowercase may work for you, too. That would significantly speed up your programming.
