<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">i think you are being harsh the shift key (to create capital letters), the period and the comma are all hit using fingers not associated with flying pattern planes no one uses their pinky or ring finger for flying planes since this list is about pattern flying it would be inappropriate to use these keys.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">I have 2 suggestions for you, Merle.<br>
<br>
1) Look at the email "Planes for Sale that just came buy. Those are all<br>
great deals on super pattern planes.<br>
<br>
2) Learn to use punctuation. To make capital letters, there are two keys<br>
on the keyboard that say "Shift" and they have arrows pointing up. Hold<br>
those keys down, and at the same time, type the character that requires<br>
capitalization. Commas and periods can be found to the right of the "m"<br>
on most keyboards.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps! ;-)<br>
