Tim, who would like to call your attention to www.heise.de (German publisher of the cīt magazine, newfs site), has some knowledge about linux, networks and windows. Tim, who likes to read How-Tos and has a curiosity for how things work, thinks he might have invented a keyboard far superior than QWERTY or Dvorak but it involves amputing your pinky fingers.
