Quick fix for touchy typists


Does your keyboard seem sluggish when you hold down an arrow key? Or maybe you litter your documents with typos because keys repeat so fast? If so, double-click the Keyboard icon in Windows' Control Panel. Drag the first slider to determine how long you must initially hold a key before it starts repeating. Drag the second slider to change the repeat speed. Click OK. (This may not work for a programmable keyboard.) With luck, you'll see a difference in your typing ù or at least in your Tetris scores.
