Over 90% of all computer problems can be traced back to the interface between the keyboard and the chair

We we're put on a speed reading course at college - and I can say it was a disaster.

It may be good for learning stuff fast, but I found it took all the subtlety out of the writing and reduced great books/stories to a sort of information gathering.

No point in reading Shakespeare after a speed reading course.
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

I think it would dry your eyes, lack of normal movement in the long term.

If you aren't moving your eyes, that's got to be bad for them  :-X

Wouldn't want to read a novel like that but it could have potential for a set of papers relating to a meeting
