No, I do not realise that coding *implies* hammering on a keyboard. Coding the lazy modern way can be done via a keyboard. But coding itself most emphatically does not imply it. I knew I was old but ... I cannot even find a reference to coding without a keyboard. I had difficulty finding a reference to anything more basic and nearer to the CPU than Assembler. For the record, I (and surely at least one or two others on this list??!) remember coding with pin boards, sheets with squares, punched cards ... Taking a keyboard anywhere near a computer was a positively late addition to the peripherals available. ;-) It is certainly possible to code without one. Come to that, before the Ark we wrote without one too. ;-) Lisi
