Re: [FairfieldLife] The Joy Of Typing
Thanks turq, wonderful article, fun info, useful, etc. When I was in high school in the 60s, I was in the college prep track and usually we didn't taking a typing class. But for some reason I now can't remember, I took such a class in my junior year. And now I'm really glad that I did. OTOH, I always take notes by hand. AND, in unlined notebooks which are called sketchbooks. Can't stand notebooks, etc. with lines on them. Go figure!

I took /Speed Typing/ in High School and /Keyboarding//1, 2, and 3/ at a community college. I've been playing /Letter Invaders/ for a few years to increase my typing speed. Most positions in business, such as administrative assistant, require the candidate to be able to type at least 55 words per minute, which is quite fast if there are no errors. I knew a guy once who was a temp working in IT who could key in 100 WPM, but he was a gamer and an avid chat room participant too. The best keyboards for Windows 8 fast typing are standard keyboards with mechanical key switches. Some of the worst keyboards are found on small laptops. It's almost impossible to perform very fast keying on a laptop sitting at a crowded cafe when you've been drinking a lot of cheap wine and smoking weed and trying to check out the women at the same time. I mean, the guy I knew that typed so fast was a nerd, /but not that nerdy in public./ Go figure.

In my senior year, I took Bookkeeping, which I'm glad I did because that helped me when I took College Accounting at the community college. These are required courses at most business colleges these days. Almost all students in college are required to complete a basic computer course that includes Microsoft Office. https://www.alamo.edu/main.aspx?id=1539

Richard, I read your post and was wishing for a computer class. Then I returned a dvd to the library and guess what? They're offering free computer classes every Tuesday!
