Ah, not the end of the world, just the end of a particular world that
you prefer. Not to worry, happens to me every day.

:-)
My keyboard is 8 years old and I will keep it until they
invent a keyboard with a larger space bar (i.e. without
these silly Windows-keys).

I trust you :) I am yet to see a programmer use the caps lock key for
something shorter than 255 characters. The use of the shift key makes
typing constant names with underscores in them really easy.
And I wasn't serious about the keyboard either.

That's right. But from time to time I simply turn it upside down
to take out ashes, tobacco and whatnot ;-)

Hi, Mr. Art. Don't buy another keyboard just because the letter wore
off - get a permanent fine point marker like the Sharpee brand and put
'em back on the keys.
I've wore down the little 'nubs' used for touch typing on the 'F' and
'J' keys but a tiny dab of epoxy or maybe even silicone sealant (not
silicone bathtub caulk - it doesn't dry out enough) is enough to regain
the feel of the keyboard position.
Ever try Mavis Beacon's typing programs? I used to have it on my old
system and it can be fun at times. I think there was one exercise that
measured typing speed in terms of a car speedometer. That was my
favorite.

I have tried to use Mavis Beacon's typing programs. And they have
helped.
But having large fingers and arthritis and mild carpeltunnel (sp?)
and more whining and more whining ...
Needless to say, I don't type very fast. So I never could get to the
speeds that could be bragged about. The only thing that I can do to help
is use a Dvorak keyboard. Keeps me from having to move the fingers as
much.
p.s. Take your time reading this as it took me some time to type it.:)

Okay, I understand the situation better now. More practice may make
matters worse :(
