As I was dropping out of high school in the 70's.... now remember, this is all PRE internet, PRE personal PC (not even Commodore 64s) in hillbilly country, so boys were not taught to type, my Mom told me "If you are going to drop out then I'm at least going to teach you to type, it's all I know to teach you." She made my type her a page every day on her typewriter. I had to type it using the correct fingers. Each day I would say to myself "This sure is bulls#it. I'm never going to get a job in a typing pool" (a term you younger fellas might not be familiar with). Anyway, a couple decades later and Al Gore sits down one night and invents the internet. And here I am able to knock out 60 wpm. Thanks Mom!
