From: Neumann, Eileen Subject: RE: keyboard hrs vs non-keyboard hrs Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005 12:36:59 -0500 I'd say I do 1 - 2 hours keyboarding a day, if by that you mean continuous = typing. It greatly depends on the stage I'm at with my document. Right now = I'm reviewing and making changes, so I spend a lot of time moving from prob= lem to problem, stopping to ponder, ask someone something, then typing for = a few minutes. In general, it's the thinking that takes my time, not the ac= tual finger moving.=20 Good luck with your recovery!
