As to mapped keyboards, we used an Avid system for video editing at work. The software was only available on ONE platform, and the keyboard was remapped when the software started. You needed a 'dongle' in the usb port to run it. You had no latitude at all. You either bought their Dell systems that were tweaked to run the software or nothing.

I remember being indignant that we spent 28k on a computer and software, but it worked 100 percent of the time, and although it took all night to burn a cd and we had 12 burners running on it, it did the job.

I always remapped keys on my own systems to speed things up. It's so easy to do. I just looked at all the keys I had and decided, I never touch that key. got out a piece of paper and went 'to town.' On the bottom keyboard the first 3 keys beside the shift key I never used. In fact, I learned to type on an Underwood manual then Electric, and keys on a keyboard that were not on a typewriter I seldom use at all, unless I hunt and peck them.

I've also learned that life deals you certain cards. You might not like them. But they are yours. I just lost 3 months of my life to a fight with cancer. I slept most of that, and 12 days in the hospital. Now I'm 1/2 deaf, cannot speak at all, and am 60 pounds lighter. I was outside today and it was 33C and I was wearing a sweater and coat. I can't eat, have a gastric tube and infusion machine.

Then I come on here and see something so trivial apparently driving someone up the wall and say to myself, that person should get a grip. Sorry. No offense meant. It's all trivial pursuit. And I also am still on a lot of narcotics. There's no upside to the drugs, but lots of downside. Ok so I have no idea I'm on narcotics, but I know when they run out.
