I found that I was having trouble getting the head on the dark 
patches.  I guess my eyes are getting 'dim'.  I used one of my silver 
pens that are like paint and just dabbed a few small dots around the 
outer edge of the head.

I also found a freeware called autohotkey.  With it, I made a script 
which hits the enter key every 2 seconds or whatever you like.  
Sounds silly, but with these two tweaks, it really made a difference 
to me.
