WebSite: http://www.dasur.co.il The ThumbKey keyboard looks like any other small touch-screen keyboard but it is significantly more efficient and easier to use. ThumbKey is optimized for use when typing with one or two thumbs, similar to the way many users operate the BlackBerry. Whereas in a standard reduced size keyboard, the user must be very accurate in touching a specific micro-area representing the key, with ThumbKey the user simply presses in the vicinity of the required key and need not be concerned if the thumb touches other keys simultaneously. Due to its unique algorithms, ThumbKey is able to identify the intended keys through a combination of characteristics of the keystroke (size and position of the finger). The algorithm processes the typed letters and its disambiguation feature suggests the intended word and additional candidate words, conveniently displayed next to the keyboard. Faster and more accurate than other finger operated touch screen keyboards Intuitive and fun to use Powerful word recognition enables you to enter only the first few letters of a word and then to make your choice from options conveniently offered on screen. ThumbKey is based on Dasur's powerful pattern and word recognition technology. ThumbKey supports all versions of Microsoft's Windows Mobile and can be customized for additional operating systems and languages.

![]() | GRANDPA JONES-I'LL MEET YOU IN THE MORNING Grandpa Jones From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Grandpa JonesFor other persons named Louis Jones, see Louis Jones (disambiguation). Louis Marshall "Grandpa" Jones (born October 20, 1913 in Niagara, Kentucky -- February 19, 1998) was an American banjo player and "old time" country and gospel music singer. [edit] Background Jones spent his teenage years in Akron, Ohio where he began singing country music tunes on a local radio show. By 1935 his pursuit of a musical career took him to WBZ (AM) radio in Boston, Massachusetts where he met musician/songwriter Bradley Kincaid who gave him the nickname "Grandpa" due to his off-stage grumpiness at early-morning radio shows. Jones liked the name and decided to create a stage persona based around it. Performing as "Grandpa Jones," he played the banjo, yodeled, and sang mostly old-time ballads. The vaudevillian humor was a bridge to television entertainment. Jones played a style of banjo called frailing, which gave it the rough back woods flavor of his performances. Some of his more famous songs include, "T is for Texas" and "Mountain Dew." He also wrote the song "Eight More Miles to Louisville". Moving to Nashville, Tennessee, he became part of the Grand Ole Opry and was a regular cast member on the popular TV show, Hee Haw. Jones was one of the most popular cast members of the long-running Hee Haw. A favorite skit had off-camera cast members asking "Hey Grandpa, what's for supper?" to which he'd describe either a delicious, country-style meal ("Buttermilk biscuits smothered in chicken gravy, home-fried potatoes, collard greens and Grandmother's fresh-baked blueberry pie à la mode!" and the cast would reply, "Yum, yum!") or, more often than not, something terrible ("Because you were bad, thawed out TV dinners!" at which the cast would scoff, "Yuck!"). A running gag was that the window he was pretending to polish in this skit had no glass, and that Jones would slip his fingers through the empty panes. Jones also joined castmates Buck Owens, Roy Clark and Kenny Price with a gospel segment at the end of each show. A resident of rural Ridgetop, Tennessee outside of Nashville, he was a neighbor and friend of fellow musician David "Stringbean" Akeman. On the morning of November 11, 1973, Jones discovered the bodies of Akeman and his wife who had been murdered during the night by robbers. In 1978 Grandpa Jones was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. An autobiography of him, Everybody's Grandpa: Fifty Years Behind The Mike was published in 1984 (with assistance from Charles K. Wolfe). In January of 1998, he suffered a stroke after his second show performance at the Grand Ole Opry and died a few weeks later. He is interred in the Luton Memorial Methodist Church cemetery in Nashville. |
