The zero and o keys are way too close together. Who made that decision?
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Possibly dating back to the days of typewriters when a capital "O" and "0" could be - and were - used interchangeably.

I'm so old that I remember when you used an lower-case L for a 1.

I've done both of those, but right now typing 0 when I mean o is a problem

I actually had this problem this am -t. I kept typing the capital O for zero over and over again on my iPad. My brain is so foggy.

Part of the problem is that my laptop keyboard is small and my muscle memory is also confused. But they are just right there next to each other, looking for trouble!

I remember the consternation when computers first came into use and people were discovering that they didn't quite work that way.
If I may indulge in a me me me rant - we have a virtual conference taking place next week. I was told that I'd be responsible for listening in, but not participating in one session. Then I discovered that I was responsible for running the chat for three additional sessions. I had supposedly been sent information on how to log onto the conference site to get used to it, although I never received it (and am wondering what else I missed) and the people who sent it are SURE that it was sent to me and, if I didn't see it, I just overlooked it (checked my junk/spam folder and what I've deleted over the past few days and it wasn't there). I've never taken part in any of the virtual conferences before and I'm worried ... also, I'm the only one actually in the office so I get all the calls from frantic people who can't log in or can't find their session or are indignant that they don't seem to be registered. In addition, since I'm in the office, all the phone calls come to me ... and there doesn't seem to be a way to have them not make noise or send calls to voicemail. So I'll have to deal with the virtual conference sessions while the phone chimes (we don't have anything as outdated as a RING) over and over and over ....
