Windows? Editor? Console? HLL? Hex? IDE? Debugger? C++? 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.
