What would be a tool that hasn't been created yet that would help you out allot?

Just a dumb question to keep ya'all busy. :)



(And with tool I mean something that can be used on a computer, just to make it clear)

:) :)

I was thinking about tools in the form of software...

Do I hear a bell ringing?
Do I hear a coin falling?

Pinball, I think it has been done but hey, everybody likes a good rip-off, as long as it's cheaper and has a cooler name than the original program! :)

Inventing something new is too hard and unrewarding. Why don't you take an existing product and put a clock in it or something?

And maybe the bottle can come with a radio and GPS system with voice-recognition AND a mini TFT-screen with dvd player with a built-in mp3-player with 5GB of storage space and with a mini-pc with a playstation 2, Xbox and dreamcast emulator inside....

The bottle idea would be better if it could print out real money and if it could make Milky Way Magic Stars :)

I want a utility to remap my Windows keyboard to a Right Dvorak.

I've found these utilities for Macs. I haven't found any for PC.

A Dvorak is a type of keyboard. I'm not sure of this but my understanding is that it is a type of glove.

Incredible typing rates upwards of 600 wpm (????). I think it was devised for court reporting, but never caught on with the hide-bound legal system.

There were two Dvoraks.

Anton Dvorak is the composer. And I don't know about greatest, but he is pretty damned good. Go to Google for more information, or your local CD megastore. Everyone should be exposed to Dvorak (and something in addition to New World Symphony).

The Dvorak I'm talking about made a keyboard with an ergonomical layout. The QWERTY board was haphazard. The Dvorak board puts the most used keys near your primary fingers, and will favor your right (Right Dvorak) or left (Left Dvorak) hand (basicly mirrors of each other). I'm also seen a one handed Dvorak keyboard.

If you learn to type on a Dvorak, I'm sure you will see increases in your spend, and feel less strain in your fingers.
