the layout of your desk matters. Most important, the angles of your arm when 
using mouse. Second mouse shape, third the distance to travel.

I have a very narrow keyboard [1] (with full-sized, normally spaced keys, just 
very few of them), so it's quicker to move from mouse to keyboard and back. I 
think I'd love to use a chording keyboard, either left-hand only, or left-and-
right-hand if integrated with mouse.



[1] very ergonomic thingie; got one for home and one for office

For example, if the first thing in the file is:
   <?kzy irefvba="1.0" rapbqvat="ebg13"?>
an XML parser will recognize that the document is stored in the traditional 
ROT13 encoding.
