keyboard error

in my 30s, my executive function got worse than it had been since i had mono at 18. it was really hard to explain to people until i thought of this: KEYBOARD ERROR i have zero idea if keyboards still do this (my current one doesn’t), but keyboards in the 90s would stop taking in keystrokes if you typed too fast (i used to type about 100 wpm, so this was not an uncommon problem). when that happened, the computer would just beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep and not register any further keystrokes until it caught up with it self. and suddenly everyboy i knew who used a computer knew exactly what i meant.
