I guess a lot of people don't. They go by instinct, and then they continue. That works most of the time. But if you add a solid dosage of thinking on top of a sound instinct, it would seem you are unstoppable. That's the theory, anyway. > I have keyboard shortcuts I've used for years ... Yes, this is the old ski jumper/sky diver dilemma. It would seem a ski jumper is ideal for sky diving. But often, he or she is not agile enough. Perhaps it is better to just take a guy or girl from the street, who knows nothing about jumping, and train him or her from scratch? I don't know. As an optimist, I tend to believe that you can learn anything, and from any starting point, with training. Only, with work, family, etc., time for training can be sparse... -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
