Dave, same here for me. Here's an interesting exercise, however: try
reading with nothing *but* your index finger. Without my middle finger
on the display as well, I notice a considerable slow-down, though not as
significant as when reading with a different finger. My guess is the
brain must use the signal from the forerunning fingers to perform some
kind of preprocessing.

Very interesting exercise.
