You'll get used to it.
I'm a computer consultant and have had to type on just about everything during my client rounds.
My preferred keyboard is the original IBM ones from the first IBM PC's.
I'm down to my last one, should've bought a whole bunch when I had the chance. Big heavy ones that go clickety-click. I can't stand those new lightweight keyboards. If there's one thing IBM did well, it was keyboards. The Kurtzweil of computer keyboards.
Smartest thing I ever did was to take Ms. Moran's (she was hot too) typing class while still in high school, per my college brother's advice.
I've been a touch typist ever since. Can go pretty fast when I really want to. Currently in darkness with only the toob for light, on a pretty old PII IBM Thinkpad, my bedside laptop.
Best way to Freep. Pajamas Rule!
I dig the laptop styles now. It's just so damn easy. I don't like the material the keys are made of, though--the plastic seems to wear too easily, and I can see worn spots from the oils on my fingers already. I've only had this laptop for 3 months.
Keep an eye out for the Optimus keyboard. That sucker's going to be amazing, and I hope we get a laptop version.
This is my first laptop and it's simply a matter of adapting to the "unnatural position" my hands have to assume to achieve my mission.
We had a guy in that class that could type a hundred words a minute on one of those old Royal mechanical typewriters. It wasn't Niagara Falls, but it was amazing to see.
