How long does it take to learn the Data Egg alphabet?
The alphabet is remarkably easy to memorize, taking most people about 2 hours just for the letters alone. (Contrast this to weeks or months to learn how to type on a typewriter; also 2 hours is roughly the same time it takes to learn Graffiti for the PalmPilot.) In fact, the shape of the letters resembles the pattern of buttons that must be pressed to generate it; a handy mnemonic to aid in memorization! A full set of chords has been worked out to also cover punctuation, numbers, function keys, INS, DEL, all Control-, Alt-, and FN key combinations for applications where the Data Egg is to be used as a remote keyboard.
