What I think's really stupid is designing keyboards with two
big blocks of keys between the alphabetic keys and the mouse.
Back when standard-grade keyboards didn't usually have a
built-in numeric keypad, it was much easier to move one's
right hand back and forth between the keyboard and mouse.

Nowadays I find myself perpetually prone to off-by-one errors
when moving back to the keyboard. :-(
