I had typing in school too. I think it was required. Being late for class the first day was both a blessing and a curse. A curse because the only typewriter left was a blind typewriter (no letters, numbers, or symbols on the keys); and a blessing because I learned the keyboard layout before anyone else in class.
When my kids were younger I would show them a "magic" trick by draping a towel over my keyboard and hands, to prove I wasn't looking, and then I would type any sentence they could come up with. They were truly amazed and I believe it stirred them on to learn the home keys and correct fingering. David A.

Given my career, it was one of the most useful courses I took in High School - one of the few, in fact, where I can say that I still clearly reap the benefits of it every day! ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ LOBEL FINANCIAL PRIVACY NOTICE: This communication may contain confidential company information that is protected by federal law.
