Typing was the most practical class I ever took in high school--especially since I spend so much time on this quiet little Apple keyboard here. But we learned on BLIND keyboards--not these fancy ones with letters printed right on the keys where you could see them!
Remember changing the ribbon when the letters got hard to read?
Remember pulling up a key when it got stuck?
Remember how the pages piled up in the trash or on the floor? when, writing term papers, you messed up and had to start all over, over and over?
And how you had to leave space for footnotes at the bottom of each page?
Remember trying to fix mistakes with messy White-Out?
Remember when everyone you knew could write and read in cursive?
Oh, those were the days, weren't they?
