I like to change hands occasionally, just for a little change :wink:


Those sheets have been in my office now for years, they started out as 17 letters per minute and 45 tie up time to 25 per minute (no time to walk and empty the IPS frames) and 30 minutes tie up and loading time.

YES YOU ARE

I'm a llawchwith and the prep 2000 frames are not designed for the likes of us as you can only clear one slot at a time whereas the right-handers can clear several at a time. If we do that the letters are laid-in backwards.

Maybe we should have the frames in Arabic :dance

:Very Happy Although I am very fast at prepping in the letters, I slow right down when tying up--some allowance should be made for that!
