Left-Handed FrogPad? Hops Into the Hearts of the World's Lefties
HOUSTON, TX (ContentDesk) July 19, 2004 -- FrogPad, Inc. and its strategic solutions partner, Gennum Corporation (TSX: GND), announced today the immediate availability of the left-handed version of FrogPad's one-handed keyboard.
Past United States Presidents such as Ronald Reagan, George Bush and Bill Clinton have all been left-handed and now the FrogPad has joined this illustrious group with its new product, Lefty!
FrogPad does not discriminate between right-handed, left-handed or ambidextrous people ? all are welcome to Frog.
"We are excited to offer a keyboard uniquely designed to fit the needs of the world's lefties.
Consumer electronics manufacturers have continually ignored this group, but not FrogPad," stated Linda Marroquin, CEO of FrogPad.
"With the left-handed FrogPad, typing, for lefties, is now simple, easy to learn and fitted for the left-handed lifestyle."To further support FrogPad's involvement with the left-handed population, FrogPad will be sponsoring Lefthanders Day in the UK on August 13, 2004.
Left Handers Day goal is to raise awareness of the challenges caused by living in a right-handed world as well as educate manufacturers and designers to accommodate left-handers' comfort and safety.
Lefties Left Out Through HistoryThrough analysis of cave drawings, it was historically thought the population of right handed and left handed people was equal in the Stone Age.
When tools became more sophisticated, a preference toward the right hand became prevalent. For example, knights once carried a shield to protect their hearts with the left hand but weapons were carried and made for the right hand.
With time, left-handed people became buried in history.
Since the beginning of tools, the world has been biased toward right-handed individuals.
The average left-handed person finds day-to-day activities harder and uncomfortable.
Many everyday tools ? such as corkscrews and light bulbs - require a left-to-right wrist turning motion, which is more comfortable for right-handed people.
Other tools are designed specifically for use in a right-handed fashion: scissors, can openers, golf clubs, etc.
FrogPad now makes living left-handed a little easier.
About FrogPad FrogPad has been overwhelmed with the interest in its left-handed keyboard.
Even right-handed people are learning to use their left hand to type so they can multi-task and solely use their right hand to move the mouse or draw on a drawing tablet.
The FrogPad is available today via overnight shipping from offices around the world.
FrogPad's offices in Surrey, England, Tokyo, Japan, Burlington, Ontario, Canada and Hamburg, Germany make the delivery of the FrogPad speedy.
The FrogPad keyboard is the ONLY one-handed, ergonomic keyboard that is 1/5th the size of a traditional keyboard, yet easier to use because it is designed around the 15 most-frequently-used letters in the Roman alphabet.
Unlike a traditional QWERTY layout, whose design was derived from the limitations of 19th Century typewriter technology, the FrogPad offers a logical key layout and design that encourages correct ergonomic posture.
After an average of eight hours of training and practice, most FrogPad users can achieve input rates of the standard 40 words per minute, as compared to the average of 10-20 words per minute by the fastest thumb typists.
Additionally, the FrogPad can be ordered with Bluetooth compatibility for the mobile professional on the go.

Lingerie, Sore Knees, and Male Shoppers
At the top of the list of things that I most don't like to do, shopping has a hallowed spot. Granted, there are a couple of things that I would hate to do more, but my editors would have six strokes if I entered into dialogues about any of them here. Being respectful of their wishes, and also respectful of the fact that writing a column that no one would print is rather pointless, I'll move forward and get right to the point. I was forced into a shopping experience for a computer part today, and while doing that l learned a tad more about women, which is always a good thing.First off, about my computer - a few days ago I spilled something I shouldn't have on my keyboard, which necessitated the purchase of another one. After I got all of the cussing out of my system, I grimly realized that I was going to have to enter that one true hell for all men, a shopping mall.
Honest to God, I'm cringing just writing down those two words. Shopping malls are the bane of all genuine men, and...

Securing Your Accounts With Well-Crafted Passwords
In the past I've never really paid much attention to security issues when it comes to user names and passwords. Frankly I figured it was all a lot of overblown hype. This led to an unfortunate incident that involved my website being attacked, apparently by a skillful youth with a propensity for mischief.The main security flaw with my website was probably the simple fact that the username and password were exactly the same. Granted I did realize that this wasn't highly intelligent but I didn't have the power to change it myself, and I didn't think it really mattered enough to bother about it. Having an identical username and password is a massive "no-no" in computer security.
Your username and password should not even be related along the same line of thought. A username of "Dragon" and a password of "Fire" is not a secure combination.For maximum security, passwords should not be cohesive words or phrases and should not be too obviously related to something like your birthday or...

Office Organization: How to Use the Tool Professional Organizers Love
Many professional organizers don't leave either home or office without one tool. What is it? Drum roll please??The answer is a labelmaker. "Most organizers favorite tool is the electronic labelmaker," confirms Diane Hatcher, president of Timesavers Professional Organizing Services, Cooper City, Florida (www.timesaversusa.com). "I particularly use a Brother PT65. It's a portable labelmaker.
And almost everybody that sees mine wants one." So why the love affair between professional organizers and labelmakers? It's because of what you can do with this little inexpensive object (which is less clunky and more portable than its fading cousin, the typewriter). Essentially, a labelmaker spits out self-adhesive tape with the words and phrases you type onto its keyboard. (A label printer that attaches to and works in conjunction with your computer would use your computer keyboard as the input device). You can view what you're inputting on a tiny screen on portable labelmakers, usually an...

Eliminate Formatting in Outlook Or Outlook Express
I often use copy and paste to take content from one e-mail and add it to another. Because of the cost of ink and the limited knowledge of some of my friends, I usually like to make fonts smaller and change them from color to black. But I often have a hard time changing both the font and the color, and sometimes I can't do either. I'm wondering whether this has something to do with the originator's programs. In any case, I'd appreciate any help that you can offer in this area.Whether you reply or copy/paste, cleaning up formatting in HTML-based e-mail messages can be tough.
Just because the sender liked pale green text against a background of clouds doesn't mean your reply needs to be equally illegible. The easiest solution is to convert the message to plain text and then, if desired, back to HTML. To do that in Outlook, you would select Format | Plain Text from the message's menu, click Yes to confirm you want to discard the formatting, and then select Format | HTML. Using just...
