Lines: 13 With all the talk about computers on the shuttle, I wonder whether it is very difficult to touch-type in zero G. I would imagine so. Every keystroke would probably throw you back literally, causing you to lose your hand's orientation. The problem would be worse with portable laptops. Under such circumstances, one would have to be very careful about data entry. -- "Nondeterminism means never having to say you are wrong." +---------------------------- Don't blame me for what my fortune cookie says!
