I may end up using the browser just for this capability alone. Otherwise it looks like it accesses Google.
Nice suggestion.
I was in tears when my Logi G15 died on me. Since they don't make it anymore I settled for a G510s
It’s a good browser I’ve used for years.
I was in such dismay when Logitech discontinued their track-ball corded mouse, I even bought a Japanese unit that was nowhere near as good. My previous experience with the cordless version was that it was too fat and heavy. Imagine the joy when I discovered the M570! Been happily camping ever since.
I would suggest some typing courses. I haven't had to look at my keyboard for routine typing in decades. "F" and "J" should have a barely raised ridge at the bottom so you can find your home keys.
About 10 years ago, I washed my standard keyboard because of some sticky keys. It never did work right afterward.
I went to Walmart and bought a $10 Micro Innovations. It had the soft click I like. It has lasted through 2 previous desktop computers and has been attached to my current desktop for about 4 years now.
I don’t think they even make this model any more.
Previously, with my Win98 desktop, I had a keyboard with a trackball. When I went to XP, the keyboard worked but the trackball would not. They didn’t make a trackball driver for that model for the XP.
I prefer a trackball to a mouse, so I bought a Kensington Trackball years ago for $25. It still works great.
Seamonkey is the old Mozilla full featured suite from which the Firefox browser branched off. I have an old version which I use when I want to insert photos in a FR post or do something unusual; I then cut the relevant portion of the code and paste it into my posting window in Firefox.
It’s one of the easier HTML editors to use.
Good for you. I never memorized the position of the number keys above the QWERTY so I’m not that efficient.
I guess input devices (mice, trackballs, keyboards) are a pretty personal thing.
I’m waiting for a keyboard where the keys are designated by LED on the top of each key. That would make it able to switch between various languages and game controls.

I do similar with an old version of MS FrontPage 98. It will not fully install on Win7, so I finagled the Editor to work. That was all I really wanted, anyway.
The Editor shows the code tab, the appearance tab and the browser results tab.
Most of the codes work on FR.
I use the FP Editor when I want to create tables or add color to certain terms, etc.
I use the same model of Corsair for work (I am a programmer) and find it more than worth the price of admission. I have come to the realization that most office-style hardware is mostly about keeping costs down (even when you’re past pure GI hardware). Gaming hardware, on the other hand, tends to sacrifice pricepoint in favor of hardware that is precise and comfortable to use for long periods.
Ironically, it seems like more office workers really ought to consider switching to gaming hardware.
...and play Fallout 4 until they master Survival Mode.
Me too. Porn is much more vivid in the dark.
Whatever floats yer boat, Laz
Whatever makes my meatloaf.
I learned to touch-type back in the ‘sixties, and type very quickly. But it’s amazed me how the young folks can ‘hunt and peck’ so fast. The only difference is that they have to look at the keyboard and those of us who learned ‘real’ typing don’t have to.
I wonder sometimes if they get to the point where they don’t have to look, either, and just have ‘muscle memory’.
I still haven’t mastered typing on the cell phone, but I almost never use it...

Thanks for the validation, Zorro. I’m learning what you found out long ago: the extra quality is worth it!
