After lambasting Rob and Jorge for using 'ciska', I
took another look at the gimste, and I see the x3 is
now 'display medium' rather than 'surface'.

Thus I must retract my main criticism - ciska can
be appropriate for typing.

However, I still maintain that in the cases in question,
what Rob and Jorge meant was not the act of
typing text, but the act of creating it, so finti
or te notci is still preferable to ciska.
