I took typing in high school back in '71 & '72. Got up to 43 wpm on a manual unit. Only took the class to get through school and never imagined where it would take me.

I don't type near as fast as I used to but still good enough. I have an old teletype outside my office door. Get a lot of comments on it by potential customers visiting.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents.
