Ain't it the truth? I once had a brilliant co-worker, who could actually code
rather quickly with two fingers. One day we re-arranged his key caps, and
brought him to a dead standstill (he was convinced that his terminal had a
logic card failure!). Despite years of use, the guy still had no clue as to
where the keys should actually be. The rest of us probably would have taken a
week to notice the ruse...
