Past crazes

Erinnert sich noch jemand daran wie es gegen Ende der 90er der größte Zeitvertreib auf dem PC war, Moorhühner zu schießen?

Somebody remembers still how, at the end of the 90s, it was the biggest time killer on the PC to shoot up grouses?

Admittedly, the technical aspects are more a subject for adult users which dig out stuff from their childhood than the consumer users. It's something that requires higher cognitive functions than youngsters and kids can offer.

(*laughs) Then there's already two of that kind.
I don't know, once you learned to write with both hands on a keyboard, you don't desire for a device where you can type only with one hand and one or two fingers at best.
This really isn't designed to write long texts, it's just for that optically focussed stuff like photos and videos.
If you got nothing else, well, then it's better than absolutely nothing, but it's no working conditions for a longer time.

Happy I am not alone. Seems everyone loves typing their heads off with those, even some complete geezers. But again, it is some mindless stuff. And I hate auto correcting, sometimes it goes out of the way to screw with you.

Auto correcting is a pain in the ass if you write in several languages. Especially since they only hand it out with a pre-installed correction that follows your mother tongue.
Horrible for people like me, if it comes down to cyrillic letters it's even more horrible as you have troubles finding a "langauge package" to install after the original one as such exotic ones tend to only come with if you buy a device meant for that areas they get used in.
Know it from switching keyboard layouts in software manually and finding basic material for doing this.
