It's the one thing I learned good in highschool- 3 years of typing
class
and also majored in English.
Most of the kids in school now have never even seen a typewriter and
wouldn't know how to use one if they did!
Except for the number row-I always was good at touch typing.
Just have to have a larger than normal keyboard for my big hands...LOL
