    No tilt... no type.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    My rage at this subject got too much for me, this post needs deleting. I have posted a more subdued response below.

    It's a bugger when you lose one of the feet - that causes a serious tilt!

    i paid for a monitor with speakers on it that i dont use too.... guess i liked the product and it happened to come with some 'unnecessary' (imo) extras?

    i used to type tilted 'till my flatemate sat on my keyboard and broke one of the feet! never gone back since

    c'mon, there must be someone else that likes flatties?

    I always tilt any keyboard I type with, its so much better to type, I have a Microsoft elite pro keyboard anyway so it comes with a nice wrist rest to help with RSI.

    Proud member of the "say no to tilting" campaign.

    I sit with my elbows and forearms resting on the desk and hands sitting on the keyboard, if it was tilted I would have aching wrists within minutes.

    Pinball machines don't like it, and neither do I!
