Or : 

   "I [..] am rarely happier then when spending an entire day programming
   my computer to perform automatically a task that it would otherwise
   take me a good ten seconds to do by hand. Ten seconds, I tell myself,
   is ten seconds. Time is valuable and ten seconds' worth of it is well
   worth the investment of a day's happy activity working out a way to
   save it".

Preben who is currently making a small touch typing program for the
reason stated above ;-)

PS: Touch typing is not so easy when you have to use a lot of
whitespaces IMHO.
