Hey guys, do you have any idea what this might do to the mental state of a
frustrated programmer?? My experience has always been that the pressure applied
to a key is directly proportional to the level of frustration of the typer
(sp?). This means that a highly stressed individual could very quickly
accelerate to a state of total insanity as his typing went from plain to italic
to bold to bold-italic, etc. :-)

Of course, then again, I never seem to pound on my mac keyboard the way I do on
my UNIX terminal at work. Hmmm.....
