I just have a keyboard with three keys...1, 0, and "go". It kind of sucks having to rewrite a web browser everytime I want to read CCC, but that's the price you pay for being a real programmer I guess. One down side is that when you apply for a job and they ask how many words you can type per minute, the number is drastically reduced, since a "word" to me is 16 key entries, instead of 5 for the wimps.
