[ale] OT Asus laptop stinkin' key legends coming off the stinkin' keys

[Rich Faulkner]

I find it interesting to see what keys are worn-down at debit card
keypads at locations like Quick Trip.  One and two are heavy hitters...

To know where I type a lot all I have to do is look for oil from my
fingertips.  That will show where my fingers rest and what keys I use to
death.  I guess you could say I have a "well oiled keyboard!"

But if my oil stained finger prints are any indicator of what keys I use
a lot...the "N" key does see a lot of use!  That's kind of a funny thing
as I don't think I type that key that often and don't have that letter
in my password at present....

A quick scan of what I've written in this email reveals that "N" is well
used as a character....fascinating...
