Kavi Types K-A-V-I
Kavi wanted to type a name on the screen. "Each letter has its own key," said Kavi. "I press them one at a time, in order — and the computer types exactly the key I press." Kavi pressed K... A... V... I. "Look — it spells Kavi!" If you press the wrong key, don't worry — Backspace rubs it out. Let's type a name together.
