I suppose it's bound to happen as people become more and more graphic and less and less able, much less inclined, to type, but I just started using a newer laptop computer, because my older one has gotten a bit slow, and it works not badly, Vista notwithstanding, but I noticed I often accidentally hit wrong keys and lose big blocks of text.
It's not the first time I've noticed that HP and Compaq are particularly bad at this. I once had a Compaq desktop keyboard with a spacebar so small you had to stop and look for it among the other spurious buttons. Now here's this HP laptop, with arrow keys placed so that it almost guarantees that you need to look at the keyboard in order to avoid them. I just marvel that people who actually make these things apparently don't bother to try typing on them.
Not really much reason for this post except to rant. Rant rant. I'm a very verbal, keyboardy kind of guy. If you could make it all happen in Dos I'd still be using Dos. Pix follow of my older Dell keyboard, which works moderately well, and the HP:
