I use the left ring to hold down the left Shift and use my RIGHT little finger to hit question mark. Am I alone in this? Bel, could you do this, maybe?

I'm sure you're the only one who uses your left ring and RIGHT little fingers to do much of anything, maahey.

It is nice of you to offer to type belM's question marks for her, though.

Max picks up his mouse and says, in a clear, phoney Scottish accent, "Computer!"

Okay, bel, no on else has asked, so I hafta: *My keyboard has the ? on the lower row, right hand side. Why do you use your left ring finger? I just recalled your reference to a new keyboard - is it one of those new-fangled, non-traditional ones where you have to relearn key positions?
