@DeWayfarer That´s how!!!

@ElRengo How, Kemosabe! Indeed. 🙃

@eyeno I love it ! 👍🏽

@ElRengo Carrier pigeon. Takes days for a reply to messages.

@OverTheHill
I´m not in a hurry

@ElRengo 😂

@OverTheHill Oh yes! For me it's a mixture of older eyes still, and needing to handle sprawls of information such as time-tables, spread-sheets and CAD drawings.

My typing was always rough so I need a proper keyboard. Some years ago, at work, I helped catalogue hundreds of formal documents, using a spreadsheet on a lap-top. I found it a real trial, though it was eased a bit by standing the computer on a closed ring-binder to put it at a more comfortable angle.

On which, here's a thing.....

For centuries, people used sloping writing-desks, or portable writing-slopes that could be put on a flat table; to make hand-writing much more comfortable. The traditional school desk was similarly sloped; but as far back as pre-printing Mediaeval times, the abbey scriptoria were similarly equipped for the monks and nuns hand-copying long texts including the Bible. Perhaps they had discovered that using a flat desk for some hours a day, day after day, led ultimately to muscle problems.

So why, quite quickly in the 20C but well before the PC or "smart"-'phone, was the writing-slope suddenly rejected right, left and centre in favour of universally level surfaces? It's almost as if the wheel, having proven its worth over millennia, was suddenly discarded in favour of some strange alternative geometry, maybe like the rounded heptagon that is the British 50p coin!

@justanothername You are right and I do use glasses for screen use, but my main reason for the big screen is the sprawling images created by spreadsheets, time-tables, CAD drawing, and the like.

@ArishMell thanks for enlightening me.

@SW-User

@BackyardShaman I’m sorry but not a single letter in this reply is connected. I think maybe you could be not telling us the truth.

@BackyardShaman classic

@SW-User Well we are all mental here on SW. 😜

@helenS i use one finger to type on my phone. It is much slower.

@BeefySenpie Yeah

@SethGreene531 Our LG washer notifies us when the laundry is done.

@OverTheHill It will text your phone!!

Still waiting for the notification that it's dried and folded. I suppose AI would go on strike.

@SethGreene531 ha

@666Maggotz I have a Samsung S10+ which is a larger screen. I still opt for my 10 inch tablet.

@deadgerbil I understand. I figured younger people would almost all use their phones exclusively.

@deadgerbil You’re an alien these days son 😛

@nonsensiclesnail Multitasker!

@OverTheHill lol, I suppose sitting and typing is kind of multitasking.

@meJess I'm always faster typing with a traditional keyboard.

@OverTheHill

@iamelijah Use what works for sure.

@Starcrossed I use my laptop at work sometimes. 🤫

@itsok At least you don't have to get up if you are hungry!

@justanothername Makes sense.

@Elessar A dedicated SW user!!

@hunkalove Watch out scissors.

@Straylight Cosmic! 🚀🛰️🌠🌌

@SW-User 🕊️ coo coo

@bijouxbroussard I prefer my tablet also. I use a Kindle Fire 10 inch.

@Zonuss Glad you're keeping up to date on the latest in high speed technology! 🙂

@Zonuss A Digital Equipment Corporation VT320 terminal! Soooo great! 🥳
I have a VT100 emulator on my Mac.

@SW-User Call it convergence!

@ElRengo when the pigeons have bird flu I use a backup medium

@SW-User interesting
