Reminders/suggestions; N and G

A couple of things to keep in mind as you are keying:

1. Your forearms should not be resting on your thighs.  If they are you have to be slumped over to do that, and therefore you are not sitting up straight.
2. Keeping your keyboard at the edge of the countertop helps to keep your forearms, wrists, and palms off of the countertop - which you should not be doing.
3. The speedskins slide around slightly - sorry, but there's nothing that can be done about it.  Do your best even though the speed skin may move slightly.
4. When you are keying you want to stay in a "rhythm".  You have probably noticed that when I read through a line it's very rhythmical - this is to help you learn the keys in a way that will help you stay in that rhythm once you key on your own.  The best way to key is to keep a steady pace for long periods of time rather than type 4 or 5 letters, then pause, then type 4 or 5 letters, pause again, and continually repeat this process.

The new keys for today include the N (R1) and the G (L1).  These should be fairly easy as you will be using the index fingers on each hand to type these keys.
