Slow down, curve ahead
This afternoon, somebody brought a brand new Surface RT into our department, for a little assistance. Twenty minutes and four technical brains later, the device connected to the local wifi. Somehow, this rates as a “fail” for user convenience. Upstairs, I’m trying to enter a couple of pages into the VC codec, following a hard reset. Using the remote, I entered one before having to hand over the room to another group. Tomorrow, a couple of hours and the job should be done. Common to both of these anecdotes: virtual keyboards. After forty years of entering what I wanted to communicate into various computing devices, I still believe that the standard keyboard is the real unsung hero.
