  • nice 3D cartoon! thanks for uploading! :)

  • We watched this video in my keyboarding class at school, i really liked it so i came home and looked up. i didnt really like it because of the information included in the video ( which was pretty good ), i think i really enjoyed it just by watching the wooden representation of a person moving around. Thx for da vid, it really helped me to pass my keyboarding test on ergonomics
