Don't cry.

XP's refresh rate and delay-before-typematic are exactly what I set for
myself in DOS and Win95 days.

And I swap ctrl- and capslock, which causes me no end of trouble on the set
until I adjust.

And I'm subject to keystuttering (one hit produces two-three characters). 
On my Mac iBook, I had to turn on Assist for the Palsied, at minimum
setting. Worked perfectly - I can type 60 wpm with minimal onscreen delay.

On DOS, the trick was to load a keyboard TSR on INT 9 (the inner kb loop).
Just turn no features on.  Also magic for the ham-handed on no-travel,
G*ddamn laptops keyboards).
