It wouldn't be that hard. ![Cheesy](http://www.golfhos.com/forum/Smileys/classic/cheesy.gif) I'll bite. It probably wouldn't be that hard but..... At this stage in the game it seems it would be a great waste of time. The "return on investment" just wouldn't be there. As far as learning new tricks, this is waaaay down the list.

I'm from the era where typing was taught in school. I learned "home row" and how to type with all 10 fingers. ![Grin](http://www.golfhos.com/forum/Smileys/classic/grin.gif) There are some women in Blader's secretarial pool that I would put to shame. ![Shocked](http://www.golfhos.com/forum/Smileys/classic/shock.gif)

He types with 2 fingers. The index finger on his left hand only hits the a key. The index finger on his right hand does all the rest. He would be absolutely lost!
