Well, while I learned in elementary/middle school using a typing tutor program on the Apple ][e back in the 80s(*), the idea of "Typing of the Dead" cracked me up. It's a first-person shooter where the enemy zombies all have words on them, and to shoot them, you have to type the word. https://www.google.com/search?q=typing+of+the+dead A lot more fun that the tedious nature of most typing programs. -tim (*) Funny story: it was a non-graphical console-based typing program, so I, troublemaker that I was, spent my enrichment periods creating an exact clone of the typing program except that, with the press of one key, the entire line would type itself and give you some random word-per-minute count over 100. I used it occasionally to get out of the tedium that was typing class. On the last week of class, I revealed it to my typing instructor by hitting a key and wiggling my fingers 6" above the keyboard never making contact with the keys. The look on her face was priceless. They were still using the same software when my sister came through 4 years later, so I bequeathed my floppy of Applesoft BASIC code to her. But by the time my brother came through, they'd switched software for some reason. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
