I took typing as a high school elective in like 1979. I never learned to type. To this day, I can type really fast and accurately as long as I don't think about what I'm doing. G. On Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 5:42 PM Chris via cctalk wrote: > > Trimble! I believe that was my drill seargent typing

Trimble! I believe that was my drill seargent typing teacher's name was. My idiot friend who sat in front (maybe even in a different class) would call her Ms. Tremble. Because she made him do that.
