The One Key Off System

This is a test of the One Key Off System.

Mmm... good coffee!

Nnn... fiis xiddww!

This completes the test of the OKOS. Thank you.

My keyboard sits on a tray that remains partially hidden under the desk, so I can't actually see what I'm typing. It never really affected me before, but lately, I've been off by a key pretty regularly. Either I'm sitting a fraction to the left or the keyboard has shifted slightly to the right. I'm not sure. Whatever the case may be, the result is complete gibberish. Okay, that was politically incorrect. The Gibberese probably didn't appreciate that statement. Let me rephrase. The result is utter nonsense. "Have a nice day" becomes "GVW buxw Sy", which spell check transforms into "Vow buxom sigh". Not exactly the message I intended to send. Anyhow, I hope the problem corrects itself soon.

By the way, xiddww is pronounced zid-wa and I could use another cup of it.
