Subject: Keyboard problem
This is a ridiculous problem, but in the genial spirit of the season,
I submit it to HUMANIST. The letters rub off my keyboard! Since I am
not a touch typist, this is a big problem. In the past I have tried
replacing them: by drawing new ones with nailpolish (too thick), and
by sticking on labels with the letters drawn in felt-pen (they wear off).
I am deeply attached to my keyboard, which has the function keys on the
left -- the only mechanical apparatus I have ever encountered which
was suited to left-handers like me. I am also a rather old-fashioned
person; "make it do" is my motto, and when I am told "hell, throw it
out and get another," I resist. Perhaps, out there in the vast world
of computer supplies there is a solution to this ludicrous dilemma,
but as I prepare yet another set of labels to paste on over the ones I
put on in October, I wonder, what solution, and where? Merry Christmas
to all, and do please advise.

Could you please tell us more about the literature on-line service, and
how a friend can acquire reprint rights for the poem ?
