Ah, this is why it is so nice to be able to touch-type. So long as the keys for the index fingers have some unique feel (usually a dot or a bar imprinted onto the key), it's quite easy to type in the dark.

This is also why I think the handheld PC (such as the HP Journada) was the best mobile device form-factor; it's just barely large enough to touch-type on:



Anyway, sorry for the digression from the topic at hand.
