@forestfern We used computers for my typing class. The old guy who taught it had the easiest job in the world. His attitude was "Just try to improve your speed and accuracy on these exercises, and wake me up if there is a fire." We got super competitive, trying to outdo each other's WPM count on the same exercises over and over again. LOL

@rjblaskiewicz I remember those timed typing tests, too. No computers in our classes. I recall I once beat the class that were using the IBM Selectrics (super awesome electric typewriter!) when I used the Royal manual typewriter. There was a certain groove you could get into on those heavy metal typewriters. I forgot about this until you mentioned typewriters tonight. Thank you.
